CAPIT collects plugged-well records published by state oil and gas regulators, shows where each record came from and when it was last checked, and mints one token on the Base network for each unique record that passes our source checks. Explore the national snapshot, compare states, and see exactly how records are counted.
CAPIT is an independent project operated by Tellus Digital, LLC. It is not a government registry and does not itself plug wells. Review the methodology, risk disclosures, and contract details before using any wallet or token feature.

Official contract references & protocol documentation
Counts reflect records added to CAPIT in 2026, not total wells plugged in each state. Coverage, status definitions, and update schedules differ by state.
A well sealed with cement plugs to isolate oil, gas, and groundwater zones, cut off below ground, and recorded as plugged by the state regulator. CAPIT shows the state's original status term next to its own display label.
Learn What Counts
Plugging closes out a well's working life. It reduces the risk of gas and fluid leaks, removes surface hazards, puts skilled crews to work, and helps return land to productive use.
Why It Matters
Estimates run from about 142,000 documented orphan wells to more than 2 million unplugged abandoned wells, depending on what is counted. See what each number measures.
See the Data ContextEvery published record carries its source agency, source record ID, retrieval date, and revision history. When a state corrects or reclassifies a record, CAPIT adds a new revision instead of overwriting the old one, and each minted token points back to the record it represents.
