Technical Panel

Orphaned and Abandoned Well Identification and Characterization Update



Thursday 31 August
1:20 pm–2:50 pm

Near Surface Pavilion
Exhibit Floor

This panel will provide an update from the 2022 panel on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) that included verbiage requesting the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) collaborate with the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) to develop a Program focused around reducing the impact of undocumented orphaned wells. That will help communities reduce methane emissions and eliminate other environmental impacts and will help further the Administration’s emissions reduction goals to cut methane emissions by 30% compared with 2020 levels by 2030.
