Focus Area
The Texas Voluntary Marginal Conventional Well Plugging Program (TxMCW) mitigates emissions from marginal conventional wells (MCWs) by assisting oil and gas well owners and operators with voluntarily and permanently plugging and abandoning MCWs on non-Federal lands. TxMCW is implemented by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) using federal grant funds provided under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) - Methane Emission Reduction Program (MERP).
