The Russell M. Clark Estate #11 oil well in Bradford Township, McKean County, Pennsylvania, is a legacy well that was spudded sometime in the late 1800s as part of the late Clark Farm, which has nine additional orphaned wells still remaining. This well officially became an orphan in the early 1990s when the last operator, Gail Beaver, was deemed no longer viable and the well formally became the responsibility of the State of Pennsylvania.
The Well Done Foundation adopted this well in September, 2021 and it will be the first WDF orphaned well plugged by the NGO in the State of Pennsylvania, with the help of Seneca Resources Company LLC.
Thank you, Seneca Resources.

Did you know the average person creates 20 metric tons of CO2e every year?
WDF has created Blue Ribbon Climate Benefit Units™ (CBU Blues) to be sold to individuals and companies to offset their carbon footprints. The current offsets were created by the plugging of the Bluhm #007 (API#25-101-10074) orphan well, completed August 24, 2023, in Toole County, MT.
Each unit is $25 and represents 1 metric ton of CO2e.
Let’s start with some basic information so we can keep detailed records on carbon credits sold.
