Aecom joint venture selected by Department of Interior’s Orphaned Well Program

Aecom’s SLICOM joint venture with managing partner Street Legal Industries has been awarded an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract by the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management to support the government’s Federal Orphaned Well Program. The multi-state, multi-agency program-supported by $4.7B in funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, addresses the risks to human and environmental health from abandoned oil and gas wells in federal lands throughout the United States. The SLICOM joint venture will deliver a range of services required for remediation following more than 150 years of oil and gas production on federal lands nationwide. A major initiative within the program is mitigating harmful methane pollution, which is a key contributor to climate change. Street Legal Industries is an 8(a), woman-owned small business that is participating in the U.S. Small Business Administration mentor-protege program with Aecom as their large business mentor.
