Federal Orphaned Well Program

Support Services

Statement of Work

1. Background President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)/Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) on November 15, 2021. Objectives of the IIJA/BIL include rebuilding infrastructure, addressing the climate crisis, advancing environmental justice, and creating good-paying union jobs. Under the IIJA/BIL, the Department of the Interior (DOI) is establishing a Federal Program to address the plugging and abandonment of orphaned oil and gas wells on Federal land. The term ‘orphaned well’ with respect to Federal land is defined as a well that is not used for an authorized purpose, such as production, injection, or monitoring; for which no operator can be located; for which the operator of which is unable to plug the well and remediate and reclaim the well site; or that is within the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska.

The Federal program will include the Department of the Interior, its bureaus and offices that have responsibility for orphaned wells, and the Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service

(USFS).

2. Objective The objective of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to acquire contractor-provided services to support the successful plugging and abandonment of orphaned oil and gas wells on Federal lands, independent of well plugging design activities and all associated construction activities.

The services under this SOW include activities to support overall project planning, to evaluate and describe the physical and chemical characteristics of well sites and associated infrastructure and to ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations. The services under this SOW are not limited to needs directly funded by the IIJA/BIL and may extend to requirements that are funded from different sources.

3. Scope of Work The scope of this multiple-award indefinite vehicle includes the services needed to support the plugging and abandonment of orphaned oil and gas wells on Federal lands, specifically. The resultant award will include a one-year base ordering period with four subsequent one-year ordering periods. Well sites to be addressed under this SOW may occur on Federal lands throughout the continental United States. Individual task orders under this contract vehicle will be issued as specific orphaned wells or groups of wells are identified and/or selected for plugging and abandonment. The contractor shall coordinate with Federal agency staff in the office (field, state, regional, etc.) associated with the land unit where a subject orphaned well is found, or with additional agency staff as determined by the corresponding Federal agency.

4. Description of Services The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the technical environmental support services as defined in this SOW unless otherwise identified in resultant task orders. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. The corresponding Federal agency shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contractor employees performing the services herein. Such employees shall be accountable solely to the contractor, who, in turn, is responsible to the corresponding Federal agency.

Severe breathing issues, headaches, and eye irritation can occur at concentrations >10 ppm. Continuous monitoring of H2S should be conducted while personnel are working in the vicinity of a subject orphaned well site and stop-work procedures based on H2S detection levels should be in place and addressed as part of the contractor’s Health and Safety Plan under 6.9.2.

5.5.2. Methane

5.5.2.1. The contractor shall quantify methane emission rates or document methane non-detection through a screening process described in the attached Federal Orphaned Wells Program Methane Measurement Guidelines. Methane emissions may occur at the open wellbore only, the open wellbore and soils around the wellbore due to subsurface fractures in the wellbore, valves, connections, cracks at the well head or other infrastructure associated with the well, the soil instead of the well head, or any existing facilities at or on the wellsite. All potential methane emission sources at a wellsite should be considered for quantification. The contractor shall document their decision process when determining whether or not quantification from a potential source is prudent and/or feasible (e.g., methane emission quantification from soil may not be obtainable in every situation).

5.5.2.2. The contractor shall describe the methodology and instrumentation used to screen for and/or quantify methane emissions from a wellsite in a manner consistent with the Federal Orphaned Wells Methane Measurement Guidelines and protocols therein (See 6.9.3 – Post-Award IDIQ Deliverables – Methane Quantification Technical Approach Plan).

The contractor shall report quantified methane emission rates in the form of grams of methane emitted per hour, regardless of the specific methodology employed, to meet the reporting requirements for BIL Title VI, Section 40601 (f)(2)(B) and support the calculation of nationwide inventory measures and emissions factors for Section 40601 (f)(2)(A). A threshold of one (1) gram methane emission per hour has been established as the benchmark for considering methane emissions to be detectable, reportable, and requiring quantification. Instrumentation with a minimum detection limit of one gram methane emission per hour may be used to document detection of methane emissions at potential sources.

5.6. Reclamation Planning

5.6.1. The contractor shall develop a reclamation plan with detailed engineering cost estimates, if a suitable plan was not developed at the time of permitting, in coordination with the corresponding Federal agency staff and conforming to that agency’s guidelines/standards.

The reclamation plan should include a description of activities to achieve:

5.6.1.1. The removal of all above-ground structures, underground flowlines or pipelines, equipment, and roads and all other man-made material and debris resulting from operations that have no current use or value on the landscape.

5.6.1.2. The removal or neutralization of contaminating substances present at concentrations exceeding applicable environmental and ecological health and safety thresholds.

5.6.1.3. The removal of noxious/invasive plant species through chemical, manual, or mechanical methods.

5.6.1.4. The reestablishment of native vegetative communities or providing for conditions where ecological processes typical of the ecological zone (e.g., plant or wildlife succession) will reestablish themselves and prevent landscape erosion.

Corresponding Federal agency staff should be consulted to determine appropriate seed mixes and native vegetation to be utilized for reclamation conforming with local conditions. When possible, native species should be used in seed mixes.

5.6.1.5. Grading that reasonably conforms to the contours of preexisting elevations that are most appropriate to maximizing ecologic functional value and limiting erosion.

5.6.1.6. The restoration of hydrologic conditions to pre-disturbance movement and functionality.

5.6.1.7. The restoration of natural systems using native soil material that is similar in character to the adjacent undisturbed soil profiles or that can similarly support a native community. Suitable soil material may need to be sourced from outside the well site if appropriate material does not exist onsite and/or was not stockpiled for eventual reclamation use during well construction.

5.6.1.8. The establishment of appropriate benchmarks/standards to be used to indicate progression towards and eventual reclamation success (e.g., BLM’s Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) plot data from similar ecological sites may be used for comparison to set reclamation benchmarks).

5.6.1.9. The establishment of a reclamation monitoring and reporting strategy to document reclamation success and achievement of benchmarks/standards detailed in the reclamation plan.

5.6.1.10. The establishment of a strategy to determine when progress towards reclamation success is not being suitably achieved and reevaluation of the reclamation plan should occur.
