What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket bond actually guarantees
The State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama requires a permit bond on every oil, gas, or Class II injection well it regulates under its Administrative Code (400-series rules). A blanket bond satisfies that requirement for all of an operator's wells at once, rather than filing a separate single-well bond for each.
Like the single-well bond, it is a plugging-and-restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to properly plug, abandon, and restore every covered well site under the Board's rules. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the operator/principal), the surety carrier, and the Board (the obligee).
The blanket amount is set by the Board for your operation rather than by a single well's depth. Once you run more than a handful of wells, the blanket is typically cheaper than bonding each one — but the controlling figure is the one the Board names on your permit instructions, so confirm it and we will issue at a flat 3%.
