State energy department unable to cover cost of orphaned oil and gas wells | Louisiana
SUMMARY: A recent Louisiana Legislative Auditor report reveals challenges in managing orphaned oil and gas wells, with their numbers up 68% since 2013. Two audits show that the state‘s financial security for remediation is inadequate, needing $542.9 million, while regulations for operators did not mandate financial security until 2015. Between 2020 and 2023, 976 orphaned wells were plugged, increasing efforts but only slightly reducing their overall number. The state faces financial risk due to insufficient oversight and funding limitations, and the Conservation Office has yet to adjust fee structures since 2004. The audit recommends multiple improvements to address these issues.
