March 25–26, 2026 | Bakersfield, California

Carbon X Credits is proud to serve as both a sponsor and panelist at the 2026 California Idle & Orphan Wells Conference, taking place March 25–26, 2026, in Bakersfield, California. Hosted by Energy Conference Network, this event convenes regulators, operators, investors, technology providers, and environmental leaders focused on tackling California’s legacy well challenges.

California faces a complex mix of idle, orphan, and legacy wells, many in sensitive or highly populated areas. This conference will dive into practical strategies for methane abatement, well decommissioning, funding pathways, community engagement, and emerging monitoring technologies tailored to the California context.

Carbon X’s Role at the Conference

As both a sponsor and active participant in the program, Carbon X will highlight:

• High-Integrity Methane Abatement Projects showcasing real-world legacy well plugging projects and the frameworks used to ensure permanence, transparency, and measurable climate impact.
• Funding Models for Legacy Wells exploring how carbon credits, climate finance, and blended funding structures can help address large portfolios of idle and abandoned wells.
• Post-Plugging Monitoring and Permanence Assurance discussing continuous methane monitoring, third-party verification, and tools that reduce uncertainty around long-term emissions after plugging.
• Integrated Project Delivery demonstrating how Carbon X and its partner companies manage the full lifecycle—from candidate identification and emissions measurement to plugging, monitoring, verification, credit issuance, and market deployment.

Why This Conference Matters

California’s regulatory environment, population density, and environmental priorities make its legacy well problem both urgent and influential. The approaches developed here will shape best practices far beyond the state’s borders.

Carbon X is committed to advancing solutions that cut methane emissions, protect communities, and unlock scalable climate finance. We’re honored to contribute that perspective in Bakersfield this March.

See you in Bakersfield, March 25–26, 2026.
