Orphaned Well Plugging

The Forgotten Crisis: Solving the Orphan Well Epidemic in the United States

Orphan wells are abandoned oil and gas wells that have no viable owner or operator. In the United States, there are an estimated 2 million orphan wells that have been left behind by bankrupt companies, individuals, or entities that have simply disappeared. These orphan wells pose a significant environmental and public health risk, as they can leak harmful substances into the air, soil, and water. They can also be a source of greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. The cost to plug and remediate these wells can be expensive and is typically borne by taxpayers. As the number of orphan wells continues to grow, there is a pressing need for effective solutions to address this ongoing environmental and financial crisis.
