What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket bond actually guarantees
Indiana regulates oil and gas wells through the DNR Division of Oil and Gas under IC 14-37 and 312 IAC 29. Rather than posting a $2,500 bond for each well, an operator can file a single $45,000 blanket bond that covers all of its wells — the figure set by the General Assembly's update to the IC 14-37-6 bonding provisions.
Like the single-well bond, it guarantees compliance with the plugging and abandonment rules: plugging the wells, filling excavations, removing concrete bases and discarded materials, cutting surface casing at least 36 inches below grade, and restoring the surface to its former condition.
The blanket bond stays effective until the Natural Resources Commission determines the covered wells have been properly plugged and abandoned in accordance with IC 14-37, 312 IAC 29, the permit terms, and Commission orders. If the surety pays to plug your wells, you repay the surety.
