Residents of Franciscan Village complained for years about smelling gas in the courtyard of the subsidized senior-living complex in Kamm’s Corners.

The mystery was solved two months ago when a contractor digging up the courtyard to construct an atrium struck a well casing. “Some just do it out of the goodness of their heart,” said Shuck, who admits to being embarrassed by the legacy of orphan wells that his industry has left behind. Shuck said the market-based solution came to him in 2019 after coming across orphan wells in a wheat filed in northern Montana.
The American Carbon Registry is still conducting a peer review of the methodology for measuring methane emissions from orphan wells with the intent of making it “as robust and user friendly as possible,” said Maris Densmore, director of engineered solutions at the registry. She said the registry hopes for approval by the end of the year.
A tank was placed over the well before the plugging began to test the flow and concentration of the methane. It was determined that the well was releasing 3,500 cubic feet of methane per day or 2,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents per year. By comparison, an average car emits about 4 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents a year.
