Why plug abandoned and orphaned #oilandgas wells?
1-reduces #methane emissions
2- reduces #pollution into air, land, water
3-allows land to be put to beneficial uses

many essential technical details about this well set, like depth and condition, and environmental impacts, including methane emission rates and whether they have caused groundwater contamination, are largely unknown

In a recent @insideclimate article @PhySciEng Executive Director Seth Shonkoff discusses how incoming funding for plugging abandoned wells in Pennsylvania will impact public health and environment and if it can truly address the state's needs.

Orphaned oil and gas wells - risks to air, water, and climate but also potential opportunities such as geothermal. https://t.co/eseSrvGrbv

[McGill University @mcgillu]

There are hundreds of thousands of orphaned oil and gas wells in the US, at least 400,000 in Canada, and tens of millions around the world. /2

[McGill University @mcgillu]

These inactive wells represent environmental risks since they have the potential to contaminate water supplies, degrade ecosystems, and emit methane and other air pollutants that are harmful to human health. /3

[PSE Healthy Energy @PhySciEng]

A new study from @mcgillu and @PhySciEng captures environmental opportunities and risks from plugging orphaned oil and gas wells, creating a framework to manage millions of the inactive documented and undocumented wells.
