Orphan Well Field Experience participants will work alongside the Well Done Foundation Team, measuring orphan well methane emissions using the latest industry technology and techniques, as well as participate in the actual well plugging where you will have the chance to work on the “Rig Floor” and try your hand at “Roughnecking” with our Montana Rig Crew as they trip pipe in and out of the wellbore, pump cement and gel spacers, using special Well Done materials.
The Bluhm #002 Legacy Oil Well in Toole County, Montana was drilled in August of 1928 to a final depth of 1,547’ into the Madison Limestone formation. This well became an Orphan in the early 1990’s when the last operator, Cavalier Petroleum, went out of business and the well formally became the responsibility of the State of Montana.
The Bluhm #002 Orphaned Well has a greenhouse gas emission factor of over 1,000 metric tons of CO2e per year. That environmental impact equals more than 400 automobiles – and we can stop it now!
