Oil & Gas Well Emission Monitoring Program

The Oil & Gas Well Emission Monitoring Program turns one of the planet's most overlooked climate risks into a powerful opportunity for measurable change. We identify abandoned and active oil and gas wells, coordinate expert teams to plug them safely, and install monitoring systems that keep methane and other harmful gases from leaking back into the atmosphere.
For donors and partners, this program offers one of the highest-impact climate actions available today: every properly sealed and monitored well translates into verifiable tons of greenhouse gases avoided. That means cleaner air for nearby communities, less climate-driven stress on forests and water supplies, and a direct contribution to global temperature stabilization. Because many legacy wells sit near low-income neighborhoods and rural towns, your support also reduces health burdens for people who have lived for decades with unseen pollution.
We structure each project with clear milestones-wells located, wells plugged, wells monitored-so you can see exactly what your contribution made possible. Whether you fund a single well or a portfolio through our Shorus Green Impact Fund, you receive transparent reporting on the impact achieved.
This program doesn't stand alone. By shrinking emissions at the source, we ease pressure on our reforestation and forest fire prevention work and strengthen the climate resilience of communities where we are also building affordable housing for veterans, seniors, and families. When you back this initiative, you are not just closing the chapter on outdated fossil infrastructure; you are helping write a new one where cleaner air, safer communities, and a stable climate reinforce each other.
Partner with us to transform hidden, leaking wells into documented climate wins that benefit people and the planet for generations.
