Founding
Capwell began as a University of Pennsylvania senior design project. We designed a solution to capture low-flow methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells, a major problem in Pennsylvania.
2021
Prototyping
Andrew founded Capwell and built our first unit out of his garage. He spent a year testing the unit across wells in Pennsylvania, New York, and Louisiana.
2022
Seed round
Capwell raised a round of funding, brought Lucien onboard as CTO, and moved to Houston to continue to refine its unit with feedback from oil and gas operators. Operators began to demonstrate interest in using Capwell's low-flow unit for their facility vents.
2023
Built in Texas
Capwell pivoted to focus on methane capture from producing wells and facility vents. It tested its updated prototype on a well in Texas.
2024
Commercial pilots
Capwell is currently piloting its commercial unit with oil and gas operators. Please reach out to business@capwell.org if you are interested in trialing our system or would like more information on specifications.
