Statewide Well Plugging Services

Texas Natural Resources Code Chapter 89 provides that the protection of water and land of the state against pollution or the escape of oil or gas is in the public interest, and that it is necessary and desirable to provide additional means so that wells that are drilled for the exploration, development, or production of oil or gas, or as injection or salt water disposal wells, and that have been abandoned and are leaking salt water, oil, gas, or other deleterious substances into freshwater formations or on the surface of the land, may be plugged, re-plugged, or repaired by or under the authority and direction of RRC. Additionally, 16 TAC §3.14(b)(3) provides that RRC may plug or re-plug dry or inactive wells. RRC does not have the personnel or the equipment required to plug wells. RRC relies on contracting with qualified, experienced well servicing companies authorized to plug wells in Texas and that can provide all Services necessary to complete work required under the Contract. In accordance with applicable provisions of Texas Government Code Chapters 2155 and 2156, the Railroad Commission of Texas extends this RFQ to qualified entities to submit a Response detailing the entity’s qualifications to provide to RRC well plugging and related services as further described herein and in accordance with all terms, conditions, and specifications contained within the Solicitation and Contract Documents.
