# Aditya Singh

> Aditya Singh is the founder and CEO of Promethean Energy, a Houston-based oil and gas operator that develops, produces, and decommissions mid- to late-life assets in the Gulf of Mexico. An MIT-trained strategist who came up through process engineering and completions, Singh built Promethean around an unfashionable idea: that the most responsible thing you can do with an old well is plug it well. The company operates 10 Gulf leases, retires orphaned wells ahead of budget, and partners with the University of Houston on ROICE, a program to repurpose dead offshore platforms for wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture.
