Oil Well Plugging And Abandonment

Plugging your well helps keep your land safe, clean, and ready for the future. At Mark T Kellner Oil Co (MTK Oil Co), based in Olean, NY, we follow a clear, step‑by‑step process that meets all state and federal requirements, so you don’t have to worry about the details.

Here’s how a typical plugging and abandonment job works:
- Site visit and planning – We inspect your well, review its history, and confirm what state regulations apply to your property.
- Prepare the well – Our crew brings in the right equipment, safely secures the area, and removes old tubing and downhole equipment.
- Clean the wellbore – We circulate and clean the inside of the well so cement can bond properly and seal off problem zones.
- Set cement plugs – We pump high‑strength cement into the well at specific depths to seal off oil, gas, and water layers, following government guidelines.
- Test and verify – We check that the plugs are holding and that the well is fully sealed in line with regulatory standards.
- Surface cap and marking – We install a secure surface cap, cut the casing to the required depth, and clearly mark the location as required by law.
- Site restoration – We grade and restore the surface as agreed, helping your land look clean and orderly again.

Our team, based in Olean, NY handles the technical work and regulatory details so you don’t have to. If you have an idle or problem well on your property, MTK Oil Co is ready to plug it safely, correctly, and in full compliance with government rules.
