Businesses don’t always succeed, and when one holding oil & gas assets fails, it can leave behind potentially dangerous wells. Seeing some of these wells in northern Montana inspired Curtis Shuck, in 2019, to launch the Well Done Foundation, a non-profit with a mission to plug every “orphan” well in Montana and beyond.
“The whole continuum from start to finish can be anywhere from 12 to 9 months in time,” says Shuck, chairman and CEO. “The plugging end of it? Two days at the very end.”
