California is exploring innovative ways to repurpose orphaned and idle wells to support clean energy and environmental goals.
•    Geothermal Energy: Converting wells for geothermal power generation, tapping into renewable energy potential.
•    Carbon Sequestration: Using wells for storing CO2 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
•    Water Management: Repurposing wells for water storage or monitoring in drought-prone regions.
These alternative uses contribute to sustainability efforts while addressing legacy well issues.
