In this episode of ESG Talks, Emilie Nadler, a Director on KBRA’s ESG team interviews Curtis Shuck, founder and Chairman of the Well Done Foundation. The Well Done Foundation’s is working to fight climate change through plugging orphaned or abandoned oil and gas wells. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates there are approximately 3.5 million unplugged abandoned wells scattered throughout the United States. The Well Done Foundation works with farmers and landowners, local and state governments, corporations and not-for-profit organizations to locate abandoned wells, measure and document the CO2 emissions, then plug the wells and restore the surrounding surface area to its original state. For the past 30+ years, Curtis has passionately focused his extensive public service and private sector careers on Oil and Energy related transportation project development, capital project delivery and business development activities in the Pacific Northwest and the Mid‐Continent. Curtis founded the Well Done Foundation after seeing firsthand the impacts of orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells on communities and the environment.    For more information on the Well Done Foundation’s work, view the Smithsonian Channel’s episode highlighting abandoned oil wells.
