Plugging done right, start to finish
Abandoned wells that haven't been maintained can leak methane, contaminate groundwater and put people at risk. We work quickly and efficiently to get the job done right.
Well Plugging & Capping
Our specialty. We plug each well so that it is never a hazard again — conventional oil and gas wells, including wells with little or no downhole records.
Permitting & Regulatory
Entirely turn-key: we negotiate with state DEPs and DNRs and complete all of the permitting so you don’t have to.
Site Reclamation
After the plug is set we reclaim the property and return it to a better use — farms, riverbanks, homesites and new developments.
Well Servicing
Over 40 years of oil and gas well servicing across the Appalachian Region, with our own rigs and experienced crews.
Trusted by the agencies that regulate wells
We plug wells for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. We've plugged hundreds of wells under these programs — in rivers, on farms, near houses and on new developments — and we know how to navigate them.
Have an orphan or abandoned well on your land? Call your state DEP — or just call us. We can help.
Orphan Well Programs
We are the leaders in the well industry
Hydrocarbon Well Services has been plugging and servicing oil and gas wells for over 40 years. We specialize in well servicing work in the Appalachian Region, including West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and Kentucky.
