    1001 Abandoned Wells Create Liability

    LIABILITY OF ABANDONED WELLS 1001 ABANDONED WELLS CREATE LIABILITY FOR FUTURE SUBSURFACE RESOURCE EXPLOITATION THERESA L. WATSON* Due to inadequate management of the liability associated with abandoned wells, wellbores will continue to pose a threat to resource development in Alberta. To mitigate this issue, a new development should be burdened with the costs of mitigating the risks of that development. Economic decisions made at the time the risk is to be imposed, in the present, will be more reasoned. Companies that follow the regulations should be able to reasonably expect that compliance with the rules will alleviate liabilities in the future. The regulated industry should be able to trust the expertise of a regulator to ensure the protection of the environment, public safety, and the subsurface resource. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

HOWE Institute commentary NO. 492 All’s Well that Ends Well: Addressing End-of-Life Liabilities for Oil and Gas Wells Of the roughly 450,000 oil and gas wells registered in Alberta, approximately 155,000 are no longer producing but not yet fully remediated. These wells impose potential risks and costs not borne by those who benefited during the productive phase. In a stress test, we estimate the potential social cost of well liabilities to be as high as $8 billion. Benjamin Dachis, Blake Shaffer and Vincent Thivierge The C.D.

Orphan Well Association 2015/16 Annual Report Page 1 Fairwest Energy Corporation 00/04‐04‐033‐09W4/0 CHAIR’S MESSAGE The Orphan Well Association (OWA) is an independent non‐profit organization that operates under the delegated authority of the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). Our funding comes primarily from the upstream oil and gas industry. Orphan properties are wells, pipelines, facilities and associated sites which have been left behind by defunct companies. To help the OWA address the recent growth in orphan inventory, industry doubled its funding commitment through the orphan fund levy from $15 million to $30 million in 2015/16. As a result, the OWA was able to more than double its orphan abandonment and reclamation expenditures compared to the prior year and take advantage of the low cost environment to accomplish more work. Even in today’s challenging economic environment, the upstream oil and gas industry has shown its commitment by sustaining funding of $30 million in the upcoming year for the OWA’s work which addresses orphan abandonment and reclamation liabilities in Alberta.

Spence, Supervisor John S. Dzienkowski Sheila M. Olmstead An “Inescapable Obligation” –The Treatment of Well Decommissioning Liability in Recent Oil and Gas Bankruptcies by Kristin Alexandra Cook Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Energy and Earth Resources The University of Texas at Austin December 2019 Acknowledgements The writing of this thesis paper has proven to be as rewarding as it has been arduous. The seeds for this thesis topic were planted early in my career as a production engineer when I witnessed firsthand the repercussions of improperly abandoned wells. As the culmination of many years’ contemplation and discussion, this paper would not be possible without the support of a great number of individuals. In particular I would like to recognize my father, Robert Weyand, whose passion for the oil and gas industry set me on the path to a career that I have found deeply fulfilling. I am forever grateful to the professors in the petroleum engineering department at the University of Oklahoma: I may not be Sooner born, but I am surely now Sooner bred! Likewise, I am deeply appreciative of the experience and friendships I gained while working at ConocoPhillips.

In Alberta, orphan wells continue to proliferate as unfavourable economics hinder the Canadian oil and gas industry. Although this problem is largely a regulation issue, solutions made on a regulatory level should have a technical basis. Public well data from the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER), Orphan Well Association (OWA) and well information database from GeoSCOUTⓇ is presented in this study.

President Donald Trump holds a seven-point lead, 48-41 percent, over former Vice President Joe Biden in Kansas, which has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since LBJ in 1964. In the race for the open U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Pat Roberts, Rep. Roger Marshall, the Republican leads Democratic State Senator Barbara Bollier by four points, 46-42 percent, according to today’s The New York Times/Siena College polls of likely Kansas voters.
