Zefiro Methane Corp. Subsidiary Secures Additional Plugging Contracts from State Government of Ohio
In addition to securing new contracts from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources covering 10 well sites to be remediated, Zefiro subsidiary Plants & Goodwin, Inc. also earned a collection of projects from two private-sector customers covering an additional 15 well sites, solidifying the Company’s increasing commercial footprint in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZEFIRO METHANE CORP. (Cboe Canada: ZEFI) (Frankfurt: Y6B) (OTCQB: ZEFIF) (the “Company”, “Zefiro”, or “ZEFI”) today announced that its subsidiary Plants & Goodwin, Inc. (“P&G”) recently secured a collection of new contracts from the state government of Ohio. Specifically, these contracts include ten wells located in Ashtabula County and are under the purview of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (“ODNR”). This past January, ODNR also awarded P&G eight state-funded well remediation projects consisting of 50 oil and gas wells, of which 28 have already been plugged.
In addition to these newly awarded, publicly-funded projects, P&G recently secured environmental remediation contracts in Pennsylvania with two private-sector clients, one of which is a brand-new account for P&G. These efforts will consist of P&G’s expert environmental remediation crews plugging 15 oil and gas wells in the commonwealth.
These projects are the latest in a series of notable oil and gas well plugging contracts that the Zefiro family of companies has earned. Last month, Zefiro announced that P&G completed a package of commonwealth of Pennsylvania-funded oil and gas well remediation projects (18 wells in total) in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, including one site that was releasing toxins into a resident’s water supply and cost nearly $500,000 to plug.
