Carbone P&A is committed to offering efficient plugging and abandoning services across Texas and New Mexico.
“On the operator side, I discovered and suffered through many cases of a lack of transparency, professionalism, and quality from P&A providers. I’m driven to cure this problem with communicative engineering expertise so that this turnkey service doesn’t haunt our industry in decades to come. With a growing orphan and inactive well problem taking place in our industry, I want to make sure the job gets done and gets done right. With an oversupply of work to do, I’m not here to make money on ‘out-of-scope’ charges. I am here to steward as many plugging jobs as possible within budgetary constraints and without sacrificing quality.”
Without the need to ask, we conduct diligence to take all these precautions on every well.
Let a Petroleum Engineer Serve You.
Mason graduated from Texas Tech University with a Petroleum Engineering Degree and completed a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Texas Permian Basin while working full time. He started his career with Concho Resources as a lease operator and other various field roles including workover supervision. After moving into an operations engineer role, he planned and prepared designs to plug and abandon wells all over southeast New Mexico. At FourPoint Energy, he managed 700+ wells as a Production Engineer which included a 2-rig year-around P&A program. He also held senior production engineering roles for Double Eagle III and Colgate Energy through to each of their successful exits/mergers. In his time with these companies, he managed thousands of wellbores and conducted workover programs with as much as five pulling units running daily. He also coordinated each of their P&A programs, plugging hundreds of wells across Texas and New Mexico.
There are more than 130,000 documented orphan wells with potentially another million undocumented in the United States. The EPA also estimates over 2 million inactive oil and gas wells across the U.S. While the world aspires for innovations to provide “net-zero” by 2050, simply retiring depleted assets provides a guaranteed token of effort. However, plugging wells and decommissioning facilities is costly and risky. Conscientious of budgets and liabilities, Carbone P&A is dedicated to servicing these industry obligations carefully and strategically to mitigate cost and risk. This undesirable work is often met with cursory instead of integrity. For no added costs, Carbone P&A virtuously ensures placement of plugs to protect our vital water tables and essential petroleum reserves.
