What it is and who needs it.
What the single-well bond actually guarantees
The State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama regulates the drilling and production of oil, gas, and Class II injection wells under its Administrative Code (the 400-series rules). Before you complete, drill, operate, convert, or produce a permitted well, the Board requires a bond — the single-well bond covers one specific permitted well.
The bond is a plugging-and-restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to properly plug and abandon the well and restore the site under the Board's rules, so the cost does not fall on the state if you default. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the operator/principal), the surety carrier, and the Board (the obligee).
The amount is tied to measured depth: surety-market guidance based on the Board's schedule runs $5,000 at 5,000 feet or less, $10,000 to 10,000 feet, $15,000 to 15,000 feet, $30,000 to 20,000 feet, and $50,000 above that. If you operate more than one well, a blanket bond is usually cheaper — confirm your figure on the Board's permit instructions.
