Offshore staff
ABERDEEN — Elemental Energies has secured a major master services contract to support the decommissioning of nine orphaned wells in the Gulf of Mexico from Houston-based Promethean Energy, a late-life oil and gas operator.
Phase 1 began in February with Elemental providing well management services from its Houston office for the plugging and abandonment of wells in the Matagorda Island area offshore Texas. The work comes as part of a five-year contract awarded to Promethean by the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) to decommission orphaned offshore wells.
The contract is partially funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law through a $64 million commitment to address orphaned oil and gas wells on public lands.
