About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the plugging bond actually covers

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission regulates oil and gas wells and requires operators to demonstrate financial responsibility for plugging wells and cleaning up sites when they are done. Under 52 O.S. §318.1, an operator agrees to comply with drilling and plugging rules and provides surety to back that promise.

The statute recognizes two categories. Category A is a financial statement proving a net worth of at least $50,000. Category B is a posted security — an irrevocable letter of credit, cash, a cashier’s check, a certificate of deposit, or a blanket surety bond. The blanket surety bond is generally $25,000.

For good cause shown concerning pollution or improper plugging, the Commission can require additional Category B surety greater than $25,000 but not exceeding $100,000. The bond is conditioned on the operator plugging and abandoning wells, closing surface impoundments, and removing trash and equipment per state law. If the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue your amount at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

For good cause concerning pollution or improper plugging, the Commission may require additional Category B surety greater than $25,000 but not exceeding $100,000.
