The Orphan & Idle Wells Conference Series
Since its inception, the Orphan & Idle Wells Conference series has proudly stood as the original and leading event dedicated to addressing the complex challenges and innovative solutions surrounding orphan and idle wells. What began as a vital conversation has evolved into a comprehensive national movement, with successful conferences held across key regions including Texas, California, Colorado, Canada, and now Northern Appalachia.
For the last three years, we have brought together regulators, operators, technology providers, and environmental leaders, serving as the essential platform for knowledge exchange, collaborative problem-solving, and driving tangible progress in well remediation, monitoring, and repurposing. This series remains the indispensable forum for anyone committed to a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable energy future.
Each event attracts a highly targeted audience of decision-makers and influencers in policy, operations, and technology, making it the ideal venue to gain visibility, showcase leadership, and build meaningful industry connections.
