Orphan well - oil and gas projects

The Ohio Competitive Selection Two-Phase IDV (CSP900922-27) is a mandatory use contract focused on well drilling, construction, plugging, and abandonment services specifically for orphaned oil and gas wells within the state. Administered by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS), this contract enables the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to procure critical environmental remediation services for idle and orphaned well sites. The contract covers comprehensive well-related services, including site surveys, cementing, and well closure operations, with work funded through forfeited bonds and the Oil and Gas Well Fund.

The contract is awarded to Moore Well Services Inc. of Mogadore, Ohio, with three identified subcontractors: Appalachian Well Surveys, Inc., GonzOil, Inc., and Petroset Cementing Services, Inc. The initial contract period runs from July 1, 2021, with a recent amendment extending performance through September 30, 2026. As a competitive selection contract, project assignments will be made through a structured process where ODNR will notify pre-qualified contractors, evaluating quotes based on statement of work completeness, cost, and funding availability. The contract provides flexibility for the agency to make purchases of contracted services at any time and in any amount, with no guaranteed volume commitment.
