SUMMARY:Landowner Role in Orphaned/Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE WEBINAR \nMany conventional oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania are on private land. Landowners who host these wells may want to consider the future of these wells and the liability they might have. Pennsylvania has a record amount of funding to plug older wells\, but often it will require some cooperation from landowners who host these wells. Landowners may be able to locate where roads are temporarily constructed and how the infrastructure that is attached to these wells are handled. They may have considerable influence throughout the entire process and may also be able to assist the regulator and the well plugger in locating unmapped wells and infrastructure. Join us to learn more about the regulations and process of cleaning up these potential problems on your property. \nEVENT DETAILS \nParticipate in our free one-hour webinar to gain insights on recognizing and addressing orphaned and abandoned wells in Pennsylvania. \nWHEN \nMay 30\, 2024\n(12:00 PM-1:00 PM ET) \nWho is this for? \nLandowners\nInternational energy regulators\nEnergy policymakers\nLocal governments\nWhat will you learn? \nHistory of oil and gas drilling in Pennsylvania\nIdentifying and remediating orphaned and abandoned wells\nThis event is being offered at no charge to participants. \nRegistration is required to receive the link to access the webinar. \nRegistrants will also receive access to the webinar recording. \nRegister By\nMay 29\, 2024
