The Caddo Tribe of Oklahoma, doing business as the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma, was awarded a $2,708,345 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Energy Community Revitalization Program (CFDA 15.018) to address orphaned oil and gas wells on tribal lands. The funding will be used to plug, remediate, or reclaim up to 20 orphaned wells, restore impacted soil and habitat, decommission associated infrastructure, and develop a tribal orphaned well program. Key activities include identifying and characterizing undocumented orphaned wells, decreasing methane emissions, and enhancing public health, safety, and environmental protection. The tribe expects to create or retain up to 4 jobs through this 5-year grant award. Additionally, the tribe received a $2,708,345 sub-grant to support these orphaned well remediation efforts on Caddo tribal lands.
