Fundraising for Well Plugging More Efficient, Foundation Says

Plugging more abandoned oil and gas wells has become a bigger priority on the state and federal level, but some advocates say this isn't the most cost effective solution. When more strings get attached to funding, costs rise for projects that are already expensive, said The Well Done Foundation. Political considerations to show that something gets done also complicate matters. “Every well is absolutely, 100% different — and I’m talking about wells that are located 660 feet away from each other in the same farmer’s field,” said Curtis Shuck, chairman of the Well Done Foundation.
