There have been over 300,000 wells drilled in Pennsylvania — and around 150,000 are still out there today. Many of them are small operations like this one. But state regulators want to plug everything left standing — and it’s not always a smooth process. In this clip, we talk with a local about: The history of shallow oil production in PA Why DEP oversight has become such a challenge And how independent operators are trying to hold on while the state pushes for mass abandonment It’s a side of th

DYK? DEP estimates that hundreds of thousands of oil and gas wells have been drilled in Pennsylvania since 1859, much of this activity predating applicable regulations or the existence of DEP or its predecessor agencies. While it is not known how many orphaned and abandoned wells exist, estimates range from 100,000 to 560,000 wells.

Abandoned wells are dangerous, leaking methane into our atmosphere and polluting the air that we breathe. That’s why we’ve plugged more abandoned wells in the 10 months since I took office than our Commonwealth has in the last 6 years — and we’re not slowing down. | Office of the Governor of Pennsylvania

Yesterday, teams from Pennsylvania DEP were out in Millcreek plugging an old well that was leaking gas in a nearby neighborhood. The well didn’t have an owner and was considered unsafe, but now it's sealed up and no longer a danger to families nearby. The Shapiro Administration and PA DEP are working to clean up hundreds of old wells across PA. So keep an eye out, because more wells will be plugged soon in Erie County, and that means more safety, less pollution, and more jobs for the area. #Clea
