*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Plugging and abandoning (P&A) low productivity, idled, or orphaned onshore wells is quickly gaining attention. The reasons are vast. ESG pressures are mounting across upstream, regulators are messaging that comprehensive P&A plans could quell oilfield job losses, lower commodity prices bring the economic cutoff date of wells forward, and lower budgets mean less capital for workovers. In this paper we clarify P&A liabilities, outline why they’re increasing, and present a view on how the set of associated risks will grow.
