PA Senate Passes SB 712 to Improve Well Plugging Process

PIOGA is proud to have supported Senate Bill 712, important legislation passed by the Pennsylvania Senate to improve the abandoned and orphaned oil and gas well plugging process. We thank Senator Camera Bartolotta and Senator Gene Yaw for their leadership and primary co-sponsorship of this bill.

SB 712 brings long-needed clarity to what constitutes a reasonable effort to reach a well’s attainable bottom, eliminating regulatory ambiguity that has led to costly delays and inconsistent interpretations. By establishing clear, common-sense standards, the legislation will allow skilled workers to plug more wells more efficiently and help Pennsylvania fully leverage nearly $400 million in available federal funding.

With hundreds of thousands of abandoned wells across the Commonwealth—many located near homes, schools, and parks—this legislation represents a meaningful step toward improving public safety, supporting jobs, and delivering results for taxpayers.

The bill now moves to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for consideration.
