BLM promises to plug old government wells in Alaska

摘要

Anchorage—The US Bureau of Land Management plans to plug and clean debris at an abandoned exploration well drilled years ago by the government in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, and might be able to include several other nearby abandoned wells in the project, an Alaska BLM official said July 20. “We are working on cost estimates for the project, at the Iko Bay No. 1 well, and also on a three-year plan we are putting together to work on other abandoned wells,” Bud Cribley, BLM’s Alaska director, said in an interview.
