Bozeman company plugging dormant oil wells, removing greenhouse gases
Curtis Shuck took the 250-plus mile drive from Shelby to Bozeman last August and couldn’t get the images out of his head. On his way, he passed oil wells that had been dormant for decades.
After working more than 30 years in the oil and gas industry, he knew those wells were still emitting greenhouse gases.
“There’s got to be a way to figure this out and put a program together,” Shuck thought to himself. “That was really the driver, seeing that and knowing that we can do better.”
