Many 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.
