This session will describe recent updates to PRIMO: an open-source, optimization-based decision-support tool that is being developed in support of EPA & DOE’s Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP). PRIMO is designed to aid the broader emission mitigation community, with a particular focus on prioritizing wells for planning and optimizing Plugging and Abandonment (P&A) campaigns, and Project PRIMA – Undocumented Orphaned Well Characterization and Plugging Optimizer

• Learn about how much efficiency can be gained by using PRIMO and perhaps a successful case study showing the best practices in action
• Explore how PRIMO integrates data analytics, advanced algorithms, and optimization techniques to make data-based and transparent recommendations about well plugging. 
• Identify how PRIMO can effectively identify high-risk wells, forecast environmental impacts, and plan efficient and cost-effective abandonment strategies. 
• Review the details of a new interactive GUI and webapp that the team is developing and planning to make available to streamline operations for stakeholders.

Don't miss this especially beneficial presentation for stakeholders seeking advanced technological solutions to address the complex challenges of large-scale well abandonment and emissions reduction.
