This dataset identifies the Orphan inventory list of well licences that the ministry has designated orphans and provides further details of each licence in terms of the abandonment and/or reclamation progress under the Orphan Fund Procurement Program.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Orphan Fund Procurement Program is responsible for identifying orphaned upstream oil and gas well and facility sites in Saskatchewan. Using the funds within the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Orphan Fund (SOGOF), this program is responsible for securing vendors to abandon, decommission, and reclaim orphan facitity sites. In the upstream oil and gas industry, an orphan is defined as a well, facility, or associated site that has been investigated by the Ministry of Energy and Resources and confirmed as not having any legally responsible and/or financially able party to deal with the abandonment and/or reclamation responsibilities. Once a licensee has been deemed an orphan, the Orphan Fund Procurement Program manages the well and facility licences by securing vendors to abandon the wells, decommission the facilities and reclaim the well and facility sites.
