Zimmerman commented: "The scale of the orphaned well problem in the United States is difficult to overstate.

Scargill added: "Zefiro is a rare combination of environmental impact and real operating cash flow. Through its operating subsidiaries, the Company is fully integrated across the well lifecycle, from measurement and monitoring through plugging and site restoration, and is supported by high barriers to entry and decades of field expertise.

Catherine Flax, Chief Executive Officer of Zefiro, commented: "Zefiro has spent the past year strengthening our foundation by delivering record revenue, sustained profitability, and building a growing pipeline of government and private-sector contracts.
