ABOUT US

Totality AI LLC (“Totality”) was organized in 2021 as an affiliate of Quintana Carbon Management LLC (“QCM”).  QCM itself is a carbon sequestration and mineralization advisory services and project development platform established to administer bespoke solutions for point source emitters and surface/mineral owners of pore space. 

Totality’s principals are Enrico Minoli, Doug Teague and Will Robertson.  Together over four years, we have exerted great effort toward considering inactive and orphan wells, including:

• Surveying more than 50 oil & gas wells across five fields
• High-grading several technology providers for accurate measurement of trace quantities of hydrocarbon emissions
• Assessing plugging & abandonment regulations, and helping to identify areas of improvement with respect to liability management
• Appreciating mineral lease holders and operators typical contractual obligations and technical capabilities
• Engaging both surface and mineral owners to understand the array of issues from a rights and responsibilities perspective
• Reviewing the many carbon mitigation protocols, whether nature-based or engineered solutions

Totality values:

• Safety
• Integrity
• Transparency
• Efficiency

Totality is a for-profit organization. 

• Our mission is to help eliminate greenhouse gases through efficient, tailored engineered carbon credit solutions.
  • We have initiated this mission through a methodology designed to efficiently and pragmatically abate methane leaks from inactive and/or orphaned oil & gas wells.

• Our vision is to identify, craft and publish other engineered GHG abatement solutions.
  • Working with industrial stakeholders, we are reviewing technically-proven solutions where economic gaps exists that may stymie greenhouse gases abatement opportunities and/or asset retirement remediations.

Totality understands the regulatory framework for plugging wells is complex among the variety of factors among the private sector oil & gas industry.  With volatile prices of oil, natural gas and their derivative commodities and the profound technological gains in industry, regulators heretofore have stewarded a balancing act to not necessarily force the plugging of wells when prospectivity of re-activating production may still exist. 

Totality has built relationships with industry practitioners who will execute the field work for measuring leaking inactive and/or orphan wells, with the well workover contractors who will plug wells and remediate well sites. Overarching Totality’s team and recommended practitioners are three committees: Regulatory & Methodology; Technical & Process; and Pricing & Marketplace.   These committees comprise advisors with decades of experience across land/mineral management, industrial operations, oil & gas exploration and production, and regulatory oversight.  Totality prioritizes the public good and balances third-party feedback loops; we reserve the right to amend the Methodology and associated Registry Rules and Terms of Service.
