Abandonment

Aurora Land Consulting supports abandonment programs for our clients by providing access scouting, inventory documentation, gas migration and surface casing vent flow testing, reclamation budgeting and Phase I ESAs as an all in one service.  We consistently provide senior staff to our clients that are knowledgeable in the areas of environmental regulations, reclamation construction and well casing integrity in order to reduce our clients cost by combining several assessments into one site visit.
