Bill overview
This bill, the Plug Offshore Wells Act, requires the Department of the Interior to annually report to Congress on the progress of decommissioning offshore oil and gas wells, platforms, and pipelines. The report will detail the number of decommissioning applications received, those that were not completed, and the status of enforcement actions related to decommissioning. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability in the decommissioning process, ensuring these facilities are properly removed from the seabed.
