Our Proven Approach to Safe, Sustainable Well Closure
鶹TVվ delivers end‑to‑end program management that transforms complex orphan, idle, abandoned and marginal well challenges into streamlined, compliant and cost‑effective closure solutions that directly improve the communities we serve.
Every program starts by building robust well‑location databases and baseline profiles. Then our team rapidly pinpoints risks through targeted desktop reviews and regulatory checks. Once these have been identified, our field teams move quickly, capturing data, documenting environmental conditions, and deploying monitoring tools to understand site conditions thoroughly. These insights feed into a strategic Risk Assessment and Ranking framework that prioritizes wells and accelerates action where it matters most.
From engineered plugging and abandonment to soil and groundwater management, waste disposal and full site restoration, 鶹TVվ applies a disciplined, proven methodology to every project.

Featured Projects
Arizona DEQ; Orphaned Well Plug and Abandon
Statewide AZ
鶹TVվ was awarded a task order contract under an MSA with the ADEQ for the Arizona Orphaned Well Site Abandonment, Remediation and Restoration Project. ADEQ plans to plug and abandon legitimately orphaned oil and gas, geothermal and/or helium wells in Arizona incoordination and in compliance with federal requirements followed by reclamation of the associated facilities.
Environmental Assessment and Remediation
Private Client: Southern CA
鶹TVվ provides environmental services to this confidential retail petroleum client for the assessment and remediation of petroleum-oil-impacted soil and groundwater associated with historical oilfield activity in the Santa Maria Valley. In the 16-year history of work on this national client’s portfolio, 鶹TVվ researched historical records and identified oilfield features beneath neighborhoods, properties, farmland, city infrastructure, a maintenance yard and within a public park/nature preserve.
