Air pollution and Climate Change mitigation.
Plug this well or plant 2,244,549 trees!
What started as a pilot project in Northern Montana has moved into legacy oil states such as Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Ohio and more. The Well Done Foundation can’t plug 3.5 million wells by itself, but our goal is to provide a template and scalable model for oil states and the nation to fight climate change in an immediate, tangible way…one well at a time.

We are a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to combating climate change by plugging abandoned oil and gas wells. These wells, often left unplugged, leak methane and other harmful gases into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to global warming. Our foundation identifies, researches, and plugs orphaned wells, preventing further pollution and mitigating the impact of these potent greenhouse gases. By restoring these sites to their natural state, the Well Done Foundation is actively working to protect our environment and create a healthier future.

Be a Carbon Hero
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.
