Hey Joshy, a quick review shows that cement is not circulated to the surface of the ground on the wells. If that is the case, a new gau letter will need to be filed so that the proper plugging procedure can be figured. However, the wells will have to be loaded and circulated with drilling mud, the junk casing will have to be removed or squeezed. With an active water flood, this can get very expensive, quick with rotten pipe from the salt water and H2s. This means the casing will have to be perforated for a squeeze or shot off to remove the junk casing. If casing removal is required, casing jacks will have to be rented. Once this is done, probably 4 15 or 20 sack cement plugs will have to be set. One the well is properly plugged, the casing will need to be cut off 4 feet below the ground and a cap welded on. Then the electrical lines will have to be removed. After any salvage, you are lucky to get away with $30 to $40 grand to properly plug a well. Your cost are laughable as your $450,000 Devonian tests. The experienced west Texas oil guy on Facebook chewed you up and spit you out regarding your bullchit project integrity. Lol But, that is what New York City slickers do, they bullchit the uneducated. lol.
