Introduction: More Than a Name
The “last mile” is more than a distance. It’s more than a phase in the energy lifecycle or the final stage of a job well done. At Last Mile Production, it’s a belief—a calling. A commitment to see things through to the end, with integrity, accountability, and purpose. Because what happens at the end of the journey often defines its legacy.
To us, The Last Mile isn’t just what we do. It’s why we do it—and who we do it for.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The phrase “the last mile” is often used in logistics or infrastructure to describe the most difficult and most meaningful part of a process: the final stretch that brings everything home.
For us, it has two layers of meaning:
- In oil and gas, it refers to the forgotten phase of energy production—the orphaned well, the idle rig, the environmental liability left behind when the industry moves on. That’s where we enter, transforming end-of-life assets into verified climate solutions.
- In human terms, the “last mile” is a tribute. To the military heroes and first responders who gave everything in service to others—and never had the chance to finish their own race. Our mission is to carry their legacy forward.
So, when we say The Last Mile, we mean both the work and the people we honor through it.
A Mission That Goes Deeper
Most people see an abandoned oil well as a problem.
We see it as an opportunity—for restoration, for climate accountability, and for purpose.
Our process is built on advanced technology and disciplined execution. Using AI, real-time methane monitoring, and blockchain for verifiable transparency, we transform oilfield emissions into carbon credits that meet the highest integrity standards in the industry.
We don’t just meet regulations. We exceed them by up to 5X—because restoration isn’t a checkbox for us. It’s a core value.
At every site, we pursue three outcomes:
- Restored land that benefits communities and ecosystems
- Verified climate impact that supports ESG-aligned partners
- Funding for families of veterans and first responders that turns carbon into compassion
This is energy redefined: operationally excellent, environmentally restorative, and deeply human.
Honoring the Brave with Every Project
From day one, Last Mile was designed to do more than improve oilfield outcomes. We exist to honor lives that were lived with courage, sacrifice, and service.
That’s why every carbon credit we generate carries a deeper meaning. It’s not just offsetting emissions. It’s supporting the families of those who gave their last full measure of devotion.
Partnering with the Gary Sinise Foundation
We proudly support the mission of the Gary Sinise Foundation, whose work empowers veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families. Through this partnership, carbon revenue becomes a vehicle for healing, rebuilding, and honoring.
Commissioning Stories of Service
Our CEO, Zach Wagner, is personally committed to preserving the memory of American heroes. His initiative to commission paintings for the Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas highlights two Texas-born members of SEAL Team 6—both recipients of the Presidential Medal of Honor for their valor in Vietnam.
Their stories, immortalized in art, live on in the work we do every day in the field.
Walking It Out—Mile by Mile
This mission isn’t carried out in a boardroom—it’s lived out in the dirt, on the pad, at the wellhead.
In Wyoming, our teams restore aging fields once deemed too remote or too damaged to recover. In the Permian Basin, we work alongside Pure Oil and Gas to mitigate methane emissions during active drilling—not just after production ends. In North Texas, we revitalize sites near our home base with full visibility and transparency.
Our field supervisors include veterans who bring discipline, resilience, and quiet leadership to every project. Our teams don’t cut corners—they build solutions that last.
We don’t just talk about “the last mile.”
We walk it. Every day.
Why This Matters Now
The carbon credit market is evolving. Investors and buyers are demanding proof. Communities are demanding accountability. Veterans and their families are too often left behind by industries that benefit from their service.
In this moment, companies must offer more than numbers—they must offer mission, transparency, and impact that’s both verifiable and personal.
Last Mile exists to meet that moment.
We stand at the intersection of:
- Energy (oil and gas legacy fields)
- Technology (AI + blockchain + real-time data)
- Climate action (verifiable emissions mitigation)
- Human honor (veterans and first responders)
This blend of purpose and performance doesn’t just build carbon credits. It builds trust.
And in today’s world, that’s the most valuable thing we can offer.
Conclusion: Legacy That Lives
The final stretch is where stories are written. At Last Mile, we’re rewriting how the energy story ends.
One well at a time. One family at a time. One legacy at a time.
We restore land because it deserves healing.
We honor heroes because they deserve remembrance.
We issue carbon credits because the planet needs accountability.
But ultimately, we walk the last mile because it’s who we are.
