Well site decommissioning involves removing all equipment, tubing and casing. To plug the well, sections of the wellbore are filled with concrete to isolate the flow of reservoir fluids. The surface casing is cut and a cap is welded in place below the ground. Government agencies regulate onshore well decommissioning. Oil companies are usually required to post a bond before a well is drilled. It ensures funds are available to eventually abandon the well. States also set aside funds that can be used to plug and abandon wells. Demolition of oil wells can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Decommissioning is the process used to take a well out of service once its operation costs exceed the revenue it generates. It involves dismantling the production and transportation facilities, plugging and abandoning the well, and restoring th...

How Safe is Hydro Excavation?

  Hydro excavation is a non-destructive method of excavation which uses precisely directed pressurized water to navigate around pipes and other hazards. Hydro excavation provides safer conditions for workers and adjoining property owners with fewer risks for damaged pipelines or other utilities. Fewer trained operators work with top-of-the-line modern equipment designed for faster, more effective excavation, along with cost effective, budget friendly project administration. It is also safer for the environment.
