About this forecast
The Bureau of Land Management, within the Department of the Interior, is forecasting a new requirement for plugging and abandonment of five known orphaned oil and gas wells along the Red River in Tillman County, Oklahoma, with an estimated solicitation release date of 2026-12-01 and an estimated award date of 2026-09-30. The source classifies the work under NAICS 562910, Remediation Services, and scope includes site assessment, engineering evaluation, permitting, and plug-and-abandon operations, because current wellbore condition and integrity are not fully documented.
The estimated award value range is $1.0 million to $1.9 million, funded by the agency. The source lists place of performance as New Mexico, USA, while identifying the wells themselves as located in Tillman County, Oklahoma. The point of contact is Matt Powe, Contracting Officer's Representative at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable at wpowe@blm.gov or +1 405-579-7131.
Forecast text
This requirement supports the plugging and abandonment of five known orphaned oil and gas wells located along the Red River in Tillman County, Oklahoma. The current condition and integrity of the wellbores are not fully documented, requiring site assessment, engineering evaluation, permitting, and plug-and-abandon operations to ensure the wells can be safely and properly closed in accordance with applicable requirements. Completing this work will reduce long-term liability and resolve ongoing management concerns associated with these orphaned wells.
This project supports the Bureau of Land Management's responsibility to address orphaned oil and gas wells under its jurisdiction. Plugging these wells will eliminate known orphaned well liabilities, reduce future operational challenges, and prevent well conditions from deteriorating further. Performing the work now promotes efficient use of Federal funds by addressing existing liabilities before closure activities become more complex and costly.
If this requirement is not completed, the five orphaned wells will remain unplugged and continue to represent an unresolved Federal liability. Well conditions may continue to deteriorate over time, increasing the complexity and cost of future plug-and-abandon operations. Failure to perform this work will delay closure of these orphaned wells and prolong the Bureau's responsibility for their management.
