PROJECT · CHRISTOPHER UNIT #1 · LOVING COUNTY BLOCK 53 · VERIFIED AUGUST 2025
Christopher Unit #1.
Section 38, Block 53.
Loving County, Texas.
A methane abatement project on a permanently plugged wellbore under a 9-barrier isolation architecture (500–600% above TRRC §3.14 minimum). Operated by Last Mile Production LLC. Verified by The Kent Group Associates (ISO 14065) in August 2025. Each CAT on Solana Token-2022 corresponds to one verified tCO₂e (GWP28) of methane avoidance from this project. First-mint authorization pending IRP approval through the 29-Gate Mint Checklist.

Sustainable Development Goal Contributions
The Christopher-1 project contributes to 12 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Every contribution is mapped to an evidence artifact held in the LMCX compliance vault and verifiable by the project’s ISO 14065-accredited VVB.
SDG 3
Good Health and Well-Being
Removal of methane and H₂S leaks reduces health risks for workers and surrounding communities.

SDG 6
Clean Water and Sanitation
Plugging and abandonment prevents vertical migration of hydrocarbons and methane into groundwater aquifers.

SDG 9
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Project delivery runs on a patented dMRV oracle (Enovate AI, US Patent 12,394,980 B1), continuous SCFH-resolution sensor arrays, and reservoir decline models reconciled to EPA Subpart W. The measurement-and-verification stack replaces the manual, self-reported paperwork that has historically governed upstream well abandonment, and is portable to other plugged wellsites as a repeatable decommissioning architecture.
