During plugging and abandonment, our aim is to return the areas used to their original state.

First, we expand the central field stations for the plant, which will safely backfill the well with deep drilling cement. The site construction work is reminiscent of a normal building site. After the expansion, our team removes the old production pipes with a special winch, seals the reservoir with deep drilling cement and mechanical barriers. At the end, the wells are prepared in such a way that no gases or liquids can escape from the reservoir.

Following backfilling, we dismantle the production and processing equipment and remove the applied, once sealed surfaces. At this point, we also begin to remove the pipes that once led to the sites. This is where the path back to nature begins. The site is then filled with topsoil and recultivated as required. Recultivation is carried out in consultation with the owner and can look very different: Agricultural or forestry, for example. The fact that oil was once produced here is then no longer recognisable and the land can be used again.
