The Well Watch Program is designed to encourage local land users to report concerns with historic, abandoned well sites to the Office of the Regulator of Oil and Gas Operations (OROGO) so that they can be assessed and any identified risks can be addressed.
The goals of the Well Watch Program are to:
- Inform communities about the historic, abandoned wells in their vicinity;
- Leverage community members’ knowledge of their traditional areas to improve the information available to OROGO:
- For prioritizing well inspections; and
- About the location and status of historic, abandoned wells;
- Address risks and concerns associated with historic, abandoned wells as they are identified; and
- Increase the visibility of OROGO’s activities at the community level.
