What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket well drilling bond actually guarantees
A well drilling, operation, and production blanket bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The City of Norman wants a financial backstop that your wells are drilled, operated, and ultimately plugged in line with City requirements — and that the City and the public are protected against damage from the work. A blanket bond covers your well activity under one filing instead of a separate bond per well.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Norman (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If you violate the permit conditions or damage City property and don't make it right, the City can recover against the $25,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Operators who follow the permit and restore any disturbed property treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the City. Pay online and receive the executed $25,000 blanket bond, ready to file with your Norman well drilling permit. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the City insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $1,250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
