Join Our Upcoming Webinar on "M-ICR0006: Early Plugging of Marginal Oil and Gas Wells in the US"!

About the Webinar: As part of our commitment to sustainable energy practices, ICR and Climate Wells are excited to introduce a new methodology, "M-ICR0006: Early Plugging of Marginal Oil and Gas Wells in the United States." This initiative aims to significantly reduce emissions by targeting old and marginal wells contributing disproportionately to methane emissions.

About the methodology: The "M-ICR0006: Early Plugging of Marginal Oil and Gas Wells in the United States" methodology aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by identifying and plugging economically non-viable and low-producing oil and gas wells. A qualified Professional Petroleum Engineering Firm (PPEF) certifies the remaining reserves to ensure wells are suitable for early plugging. Baseline emissions are calculated using open-source LCA models, and the difference between these and post-plugging emissions quantifies the reductions. Emission reductions are credited once after plugging, with ongoing monitoring to ensure permanence. This methodology targets over 700,000 marginal wells, addressing a significant source of emissions despite their low output.

Why Attend?
Understand the critical role of early well-plugging in meeting global carbon budgets.
Explore the methodology and eligibility criteria.
Learn about the validation/verification and approval processes and the long-term climate and economic impacts.

**Who Should Attend? **
Climate experts, policymakers, stakeholders, validation and verification bodies, and anyone interested in climate actions and carbon markets.
