The Bureau of Land Management awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Olgoonik Oilfield Services, LLC with a potential value of $50 million to address plugging and abandonment and remediation of legacy and abandoned oil wells on federal lands in Alaska. Under this contract vehicle, the BLM has issued two delivery orders to date. The first was for $13.6 million to plug and abandon the Iko Bay #1 well and remediate surrounding areas by December 2023 in Anchorage, Alaska. The second was for Alaska-wide legacy and abandoned well plugging and abandonment remediation services through September 2023, with a potential value of $0. The original sources sought notice indicated the BLM sought to plug approximately 20 legacy oil and gas wells drilled from 1947 to 1950 in the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska under the Navy, including well bore plugging and surface contamination cleanup. No set-asides were specified.
This contract aims to address environmental remediation and responsible resource management needs on federal lands in Alaska. Through well plugging and surface remediation work, the BLM addresses legacy contamination issues and abandoned infrastructure associated with early oil and gas exploration conducted under the U.S. Navy decades ago. The IDV and associated delivery orders enable the BLM to tackle such remediation work across its Alaska holdings over the coming years via a vehicle with the prime contractor Olgoonik Oilfield Services, LLC.
