AECOM (ACM) JV Wins Contract to Remediate Abandoned Wells
Read MoreHide Full Article
AECOM (ACM - Free Report) , a global infrastructure consulting leader, is set to play a pivotal role in the remediation of abandoned oil and gas wells on federal lands across the United States. Its joint venture, SLICOM, in partnership with Street Legal Industries, has secured an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract from the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management. This initiative, backed by $4.7 billion from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, aims to tackle the environmental and health risks posed by these neglected wells.
The contract covers a wide array of services, including planning, environmental assessments, permitting, testing, compliance, and investigations of these wells. Notably, the program will prioritize addressing harmful methane pollution, which is a critical step in combating climate change. AECOM's expertise in methane monitoring technology and air quality management will be instrumental in the venture's success.
Street Legal Industries, an 8(a) woman-owned small business, is part of the U.S. Small Business Administration mentor-protégé program with AECOM, where large contractors mentor smaller firms to enhance their competitiveness in the federal market.

This contract underscores AECOM's dedication to infrastructure sustainability and environmental responsibility. With their cutting-edge technology and collaborative approach, AECOM and SLICOM are well-positioned to contribute significantly to the Federal Orphaned Well Program, safeguarding the environment and public health while supporting economic growth.
