How much does an oil or gas well bond cost in West Virginia?

Why do I need this bond?

Oil and gas well bonds in West Virginia are put in place to ensure that principals (oil and gas well operators) perform all duties in accordance with all laws of the state. Under this bond, well workers must:

plug and abandon wells after the work has been completed in full in accordance with Chapter 22, Article 6 of the West Virginia Code
commence the reclamation of the area of land disturbed in siting, drilling, completing or producing the well
clear all waste and excess materials from the site after completion of the project

If the principal violates the terms of his or her bond agreement and the state or individual is harmed as a result, the bond will cover all financial losses up to the full penal sum of the bond. The principal must reimburse the surety for all damages paid out.
