Bill overview
This bill, the Orphan Well Grant Flexibility Act of 2024, amends the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to provide more flexibility for states receiving grants to address abandoned oil and gas wells. Specifically, it allows states to use pre-plugging methane emission data for grant eligibility and directs the Department of the Interior to commission a study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on the economic and community impacts of these remediation efforts. The study will incorporate input from various stakeholders and a representative sample of states across the U.S.
