Zefiro Methane Corp. has announced the completion of a $1.5mn energy infrastructure project through its subsidiary Plants & Goodwin Inc. The work involved decommissioning nine low-yield conventional gas wells in Indiana County, east of Pittsburgh. This operation was part of the conversion of a coal-fired power plant into a natural gas facility.
A key operation to unlock an energy site
The presence of unplugged wells on the site had previously prevented progress on the infrastructure transformation. The three-month decommissioning project removed this technical barrier. Zefiro stated that this type of intervention delivers immediate operational value by eliminating constraints posed by inactive fossil fuel infrastructure with no major risk.
The company indicated that the project went beyond its usual plugging activities for institutional clients. In 2025, Plants & Goodwin had already completed similar projects for a major aerospace contractor and a global e-commerce group, without disclosing their names.
Strategic expansion in the Southern US
Zefiro is also preparing a new contract worth over $5mn for a similar operation in Louisiana. The project, still pending administrative approvals, is expected to run through March 2026. It will mark the company’s entry into its eighth US state.
The firm stated it is working with a private infrastructure developer on this new phase. Once all approvals are secured, full details of the project will be announced in a separate press release.
Growing position in energy infrastructure
Luke Plants, Chief Executive Officer of Plants & Goodwin and Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Zefiro, said these projects address technical requirements while supporting the modernisation of the US energy grid.
“Our oil and gas fields must be cleaned up to facilitate our economic transformation,” he stated, noting that addressing inactive wells plays a role in strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure.
