Methods for Finding Legacy Wells in Large Areas

Technical Report Hammack, Richard ; Veloski, Garret ; Hodges, D. Greg ; ...

More than 10 million wells have been drilled during 150 years of oil and gas production in the United States. When abandoned, many wells were not adequately sealed and now provide a potential conduit for the vertical movement of liquids and gases. Today, groundwater aquifers can be contaminated by surface pollutants flowing down wells or by deep, saline water diffusing upwards. Likewise, natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO₂), or radon can travel upwards via these wells to endanger structures or human health on the surface. Recently, the need to find and plug wells has become critical with the advent of carbonmore »« less

Likewise, natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), or radon can travel upwards via these wells to endanger structures or human health on the surface.

Methods for Finding Legacy Wells in Residential and Commercial Areas

Technical Report Hammack, Richard ; Veloski, Garret

The objective of this study was to locate legacy wells in Versailles Borough so that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection could mitigate dangerous CH₄ concentrations in the community by venting or plugging leaking wells.
