The Impacts
Oil and gas are the highest man-made source of methane emissions in the U.S.
If we can figure out how to target those sources and fix them, that could be a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions coming from the oil and gas industry.

The UVT Solution
Why does UVT exist?
To address the increasing greenhouse gas emission rate of oil and gas wells.
Underground Vision Technologies (UVT) is an environmental services company that was formed out of a passion to stop all greenhouse gas emissions. UVT addresses the issues of abandoned and orphaned oil wells across the globe. In much the same way that ocean cleanup has taken a priority on environmental and societal agendas, UVT is helping to lead the charge in how our government and society prioritize the issues of abandoned and orphaned wells. We do this by developing, testing and proving that there is a better, more financially viable, solution to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions..
