Heriot-Watt researchers unveil ambitious plan to seal 100,000 methane-leaking wells by 2034

R ockit , a cleantech initiative from Heriot- Watt University , has announced plans to help seal 100,000 methane-leaking wells within the next decade using innovative chemical injection technology .

The project ’ s unique solution can infiltrate even the smallest pores and cracks where existing methods fall short , offering a more comprehensive and effective sealing method for both shallow onshore and deeper offshore wells . It is predicted that Rockit ’ s technique will lock in toxic and greenhouse gases deep underground for thousands of years .
Using existing methods , research suggests it would take over 300 years to plug millions of at-risk wells on the planet ,” said Dr Oleg Ishkov , a lead researcher at the University ’ s School of Energy , Geoscience , Infrastructure and Society . “ Our technology offers a radical new solution by transforming porous rocks into impermeable barriers , locking harmful gases underground for thousands of years .”
