Please Don't Abandon A Well Without Closing It Properly
Stories abound about orphan wells, which are abandoned gas and oil wells that are no longer active. These wells have become a real problem because they're appearing all over the place. It can be expensive to officially close up a well, but that cost is worth it because not closing the well may lead to worse consequences that are even more expensive to remedy. Many companies simply abandon the wells, but your company can get a public-relations boost by showing you're willing to actually close up the wells to protect the land and people around them.
