Understanding the Regulations & Total Cost to Abandon Oil, Gas and Injection Wells for Land Development
Brad Pierce,
USC Adjunct Professor
Reservations REQUESTED - Please make your reservation with Ted Frankiewicz ASAP using his email tcfrankiewicz@gmail.com
Abstract:
With increasing population in southern California and tighter restrictions on where oil and gas wells can be drilled or operated, the demand for wells which can continue to be produced is high. In parallel, the number of idle, active, abandoned or orphaned wells which cannot be produced under new restrictions is also increasing. The presentation will outline the services and information which developers and others need in order to navigate the maze of abandonment regulations. The regulatory complexity can potentially add significantly to the P & A cost for a well – with some of those costs possibly being unnecessary. This presentation will touch on methods to properly P & A wells and to meet the complex P & A regulations while optimizing operator costs and future liability.
