MRP 242: Can a Shut-in or Plugged Well be Reopened?

Episode 242 Published 2 years, 2 months ago
Description

You may see that one or more of the wells on your property is listed as "shut-in" or "plugged and abandoned" on the state oil & gas commission website and wonder what this means for your future royalties.  In this episode, we explain some of the main reasons wells can end up getting shut-in and whether they can be restarted.  We also explore scenarios where an operator may re-enter a previously abandoned wellbore instead of drilling an entirely new well.
