В Арканзасе закрыли три нефтяные скважины в округах Оушита и Юнион

Recent reports filed with the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission relating to permits issued; well completions, recompletions and workovers; and the plugging and abandonment of oil, natural gas and saltwater brine (bromine and lithium production) in South Arkansas. Three abandoned or inactive oil wells in Ouachita and Union counties were plugged in August under the oversight of the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, according to commission plugging records. In Ouachita County, the Andrew Green No. 2 well in the Elliott South Field was plugged August 14, 2026. The well, operated by Dan Reynolds Company of Camden, had a total depth of 2,350 feet and targeted the Nacatoch formation. The well is located in Section 1, Township 15 South, Range 17 West. Two wells were plugged in Union County. The Hodges No. 1 in the Smackover Field was plugged August 13. Commission records list Charlie Hankins as the operator and identify the well as an abandoned oil well. It had a total depth of 2,667 feet and was completed in the Tokio formation. The Hodges well is in Section 1, Township 16 South, Range 17 West. The J.R. Cullins No. 9 in the El Dorado South Field was plugged August 10. The 2,186-foot well was associated with Arkansas Natural Gas Company and was also classified as an abandoned oil well. Commission records do not identify a producing zone for the well. The Cullins well is in Section 4, Township 19 South, Range 15 West. Plugging permanently closes a well by placing approved materials, typically including cement, in the wellbore to isolate underground formations and prevent the movement of oil, gas or formation fluids. The work is intended to protect groundwater and other subsurface resources after a well is no longer in service.
