     "text": "The Orphan Wells Project conducts research on orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells across the nation to better understand the extent of methane emissions and ongoing risks to groundwater contamination. The goal of this research is to provide information that can support prioritizing orphan wells for plugging, and repurposing wells for uses such as new hydrocarbon production, carbon capture and storage, and geothermal energy."

     "text": "Orphan wells benefit no one, they waste natural resources, contaminate water, and pose a threat to the environment. Orphan well research directly supports efforts to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while creating new jobs across the nation. This research seeks to identify the sources of methane emissions from orphan wells and better understand the factors that contribute to the highest emitters through identifying the geologic sources and well integrity factors of orphan wells."
