Locating Plugged Wells:  Plugged wells can be incredibly dangerous and were the cause of nearly all of the catastrophic explosions we have heard about in the news and are only going to continue to grow more innumerous as oil and gas continues to expand at record rates, constantly conflicting with the ever-expanding housing industry. Please join us for a special interdisciplinary presentation where Jeff will educate our community on abandoned, orphaned, and plugged wells from a geologic perspective.
