Reply to comment by IrresponsibleScience in Pa. drillers abandoned thousands of natural gas wells in 5 years, ignored state law, report says by lildobe
This needs to happen. Large Oil and gas companies have sold their old wells to smaller companies who then create shell companies, transfer ownership of the old, nonproducing wells and then file bankruptcy, relieving them of their rights to plug said wells. Then it’s on the state to cover the cost of plugging. Not saying everyone does this but I have heard of Appalachian companies following this process. Really crooked
