The State of Texas awarded an emergency contract to Advantage Business Capital Inc. on July 24, 2026, to address an active produced water leak from an orphan well located in Reeves County. The contractor is responsible for containing and hauling fluids from the affected area, which spans approximately 375 feet by 140 feet, and for excavating the contaminated site. The Texas district office in Midland conducted a competitive evaluation of three qualified vendors and selected Advantage Business Capital Inc. based on its ability to provide immediate response and deliver the best value to the State.

The contract services fall within well drilling and construction support categories, as evidenced by the assigned UNSPSC codes covering cement pumping, drilling measurement, oilfield fishing, and artificial lift services, and the NIGP classification for well services including drilling, plugging, and maintenance. While specific contract amount and period of performance details are not provided in the available documentation, the emergency procurement nature and immediate response requirement indicate time-sensitive fluid containment and remediation operations. The performance location is Reeves County, Texas, where the orphan well remediation activities will be conducted.
