Carbon X targets overlooked methane sources through screening, field assessments and methane testing to pinpoint high-impact, legacy wells.
Verified carbon credits are generated based on methane detection and quantification before and after plugging, ensuring the registry-backed methodologies and inputs are conservative, reliable and third-party validated, establishing a repeatable system to fund additional oil and gas well mitigation and scale remediation efforts nationwide.
Following a 2025 project in Breckenridge, Texas, where 23 leaking wells were plugged, generating ~321,000 MT CO2e in carbon credits, Carbon X has expanded into larger portfolios, including a Western Oklahoma project targeting 150+ wells with ~4.5 million MT CO2e, demonstrating scalability and impact potential.
With methane ~82 times more impactful than CO₂ over a twenty-year period [1], Carbon X delivers measurable and meaningful reductions by identifying, quantifying and permanently eliminating emissions through engineered well plugging, resulting in transparent, auditable data.
Millions of abandoned wells across the United States contribute to ongoing methane emissions, making scalable methane abatement a meaningful and diversified pathway toward AT&T’s goal of enabling 1 billion metric tons of emissions reductions by 2035.
By connecting remote well sites, field crews, methane sensors, monitoring systems and verification workflows, AT&T connectivity supports Carbon X’s mission to accelerate the transition from isolated methane-abatement projects to a widespread, repeatable, data-rich national remediation platform.

AT&T connectivity transforms remote legacy wells into connected field assets by transmitting real-time methane measurements, GPS-tagged data points, photos, work orders, inspection records and post-plug monitoring data to secure cloud-based systems.
IoT, 5G and fiber enable near-real-time data capture and secure transmission, supporting the auditable records required by registries, verifiers, regulators, landowners and credit buyers.
AT&T connectivity helps Carbon X scale methane abatement project development by reducing manual data collection, improving field visibility, accelerating response times and creating a digital record from leak detection through credit issuance, enabling a repeatable, transparent and financeable process.
Connectivity supports permanence and risk management through continuous monitoring to confirm wells remain sealed while allowing rapid detection and remediation of post-plug leaks, reducing risk and improving overall safety.

Do you have old oil or gas wells on your land that you think may be leaking? Carbon X can help. Our team specializes in evaluating legacy wells and developing solutions to permanently seal them, stop harmful methane emissions, and restore the land to a healthier state.
Many of the wells we work on are aging, low-producing, or abandoned wells that no longer generate value for operators and often burden landowners with environmental and financial risk. By partnering with us, you can ensure your property is evaluated by experts, plugged to the highest standards, and potentially included in a carbon credit project that funds the cost of remediation.
If you believe you may have wells on your property that need attention, please reach out to our team on our Contact Page. Together, we can assess the site, determine the best path forward, and contribute to meaningful climate action while improving the value and safety of your land.

Walker Ranch: A Model for Methane Abatement In Central Texas, Carbon X has launched its largest field initiative yet: permanently sealing 24 legacy wells at Walker Ranch. Once some of the region’s worst methane emitters, these wells are now part of a groundbreaking project that combines advanced leak detection, high-standard plugging, and prairie restoration. The result: verifiable carbon credits and a replicable blueprint for tackling the 300,000+ legacy wells across the U.S.
Founded by geologist and CEO Whitney Landress, Carbon X is built on a simple idea, climate action should be scientifically proven and fully accountable. Their latest project resulted in a 300,000-credit transaction, but the impact didn't stop there. More than 5,000 acres of land were restored - bringing back butterfly migration, quail habitats, native hardwood, grasses, and other wildlife that vanished after oilfield infrastructure had been neglected for decades. Carbon X proves that environmental restoration and financial returns can operate in lockstep by offering a new ethical blueprint for how climate finance should work.
