Interior Department to Release $775 Million for Orphan Well Cleanup in 21 States Under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

The Interior Department is set to release $775 million to states for plugging orphan wells, part of a $4.7 billion program funded by Congress to clean up abandoned oil and gas infrastructure. 21 states are eligible for the funds, from Alabama to Wyoming. This is the third tranche of funds made available by Interior as part of the bipartisan infrastructure law, which will be signed by President Joe Biden in 2021. Some states have struggled to capture and use the funds in recent years.
