Description
As carbon credits emerge as a funding mechanism for well plugging, credible outcomes depend on what happens at the wellbore. This panel examines real project examples of well intervention and subsurface mitigation, exploring how emissions reduction and integrity verification are achieved in practice. Discussion connects policy frameworks, market structures, and field execution to highlight requirements for scalable, credible implementation.
