Sponsored content: ABB technology to help tackle methane leakages from orphan oil and gas wells

Envirotec Magazine

With the help of ABB technology, organizations such as The Well Done Foundation, the nonprofit that works to plug orphan oil and gas wells in the US, can detect leaking wells. Due to their age and deteriorated condition, the wells can leak methane and other harmful greenhouse gases through their “plugs”.
