Engineering and regulatory workflows for well closure. One platform.

Procedure generation, regulatory filings, and compliance tracking -with engineer review at every step.

P&A procedures, regulatory filings, and compliance management. We handle the engineering and paperwork so operators can focus on execution and agencies can deploy closure funding efficiently. Every output is reviewed by an engineer before submission.

PlugSpec Engineering Get a Free Well
Engineering
Procedures built from verified well data and local regulatory requirements, not templates. Every well gets the work it deserves.
Compliance
Filings built to pass regulatory review the first time, not the third. From initial submission through closure forms, we manage the entire regulatory process.
Auditability
Every procedure and filing reviewed by an engineer before submission. A complete audit trail for every decision made on every well.

P&A jobs go over budget because the upfront work doesn't get the attention it needs.

Most well closures don't go sideways on the rig. They go sideways before the rig shows up -when the research is rushed, the procedure doesn't reflect actual conditions, and the bid is built on incomplete information.

For state agencies deploying federal plugging funds, the challenge is different but related: the engineering and administrative work required to move wells from grant approval to compliant closure is significant, and the capacity to manage it at scale takes time to build.

That's where we come in.

Procedures get bounced, timelines slip
When a procedure doesn't reflect actual well conditions or local district requirements, it gets rejected. Each round of revision costs time and pushes back the entire plug schedule.
Teams stretched across priorities
The engineers responsible for P&A are the same ones managing completions, production, and capital planning. Closure work gets fit in around everything else, and the research suffers.
Knowledge leaves with people
When the engineer who managed last year's plug campaign moves on, everything they learned about your wells, districts, and regulatory history goes with them. The next person starts from scratch.
No audit trail
Procedures built in spreadsheets and Word docs leave no record of how decisions were made. When a regulator asks why a plug was designed a certain way, there's nothing to point to.

Everything between the decision to plug and boots on the ground.

Engineering and regulatory management across every phase of the P&A operation. Technology handles the heavy lifting. Engineers review and approve every output.

01
P&A Procedure Generation
Generate engineering procedures from well data and state-specific regulatory requirements. Every procedure reflects actual well conditions, not a template.
Well data ingestion and validation
State-specific regulatory rule engine
Formation and casing analysis
District and field requirement lookup
Wellbore diagram generation
Export-ready procedure documents
02
Regulatory Filing Management
Early Access
Manage every regulatory filing from initial submission through final approval. State-specific forms, tracked in one place.
Permit and filing workflow management
Groundwater advisory coordination
Surface owner notification tracking
Filing status monitoring
Closure form generation
03
Inactive Well Portfolio Audit
Coming Soon
Texas SB 1150 requires operators to submit plans and post bonds for every inactive well. We're building a full portfolio audit to help operators understand their exposure and prepare compliance filings before the deadline.
Inactive well identification and status verification
Bond cost estimation across portfolio
Compliance plan preparation
Regulatory filing support
Annual compliance reporting
04
Agency Program Support
Purpose-built for agencies deploying well closure funding. Engineering, compliance, and reporting managed for every well in the program.
Well eligibility screening and data assembly
Procedure development for funded wells
Regulatory filing and coordination
Program reporting and documentation
// Why PlugSpec

Faster, more accurate, and built for this.

P&A regulatory work is all we do. That singular focus lets us deliver results that generalist teams can't match.

The P&A regulatory landscape is deeply fragmented. Each district, county, and field maintains unique requirements, formatted differently, sometimes referencing legacy records that have never been digitized. We've built the infrastructure to navigate all of it.

Our systems research, extract, and cross-reference regulatory data at a scale and speed that isn't possible manually. The result is procedures that reflect actual well conditions and local requirements from day one, with every decision logged and traceable.

Every output is reviewed by an engineer before it goes out. That combination of technology and engineering judgment is what produces work that holds up under regulatory scrutiny.

Most operators either handle P&A compliance in-house with staff who have dozens of other priorities, or they outsource it to firms that do solid work but at higher cost and longer timelines. We built PlugSpec to close that gap.

We sit between the operator and the regulatory body as a dedicated layer of engineering and compliance expertise. One point of contact for procedures, filings, coordination, and vendor bidding. Your team stays focused on production. We make sure every well closure is done right.

For state agencies managing federally funded plugging programs, we provide the same rigor: well-level data assembly, procedure development, and compliance documentation that turns allocated capital into plugged wells on schedule.

"Procedures that pass review the first time. Vendor bids based on actual well conditions. Compliance filings that hold up under scrutiny."
