12 ABANDONED OIL AND GAS WELLS Where a development is planned, a search for abandoned wells in the vicinity of the proposed development area MUST be conducted. Identification by the landowner or agent acting on behalf of the landowner ensures that they are aware of any abandoned wells within or surrounding the development area. By having the landowner or agent acting conduct this search it can prevent damage both to the well and to construction or excavation equipment, as well as injury to equipment operators or landowners. The LAND OWNER or agent acting on behalf of the landowner, must contact all licensees on the affected property. The licensee is then required to physically locate the abandoned well(s). a. GPS coordinates of the well site(s); and b. A sketch of the site showing the exact location of the well(s) on the site and the required setback distance from the wellbore. If the abandoned well licensee no longer exists or is non-operational. The ERCB and Orphan Well Association ( have reached an agreement whereby the Orphan Well Association will, when contacted by a Landowner/agent, go out and locate the abandoned well on the property as per the regular responsibility of licensees. Further information can be found at the Orphan well Association website listed above. The County of Vermilion River CANNOT OPEN NEW APPLICATIONS until all relevant information regarding abandoned oil and gas wells has been provided by the landowner/agent. The costs of locating any abandoned oil and gas well(s) is the responsibility of the licensee. This process may add additional time in the preparation of an application, but will not incur direct expenses on the landowner. Further information can be viewed at Information about abandoned well locations can be obtained
