Crawford County (PA) Awarded 104K in Gas Well Impact Fees

Crawford County is being awarded a little more than $104,000 as its share of Pennsylvania’s unconventional gas well impact fees for 2022.

Pennsylvania’s Act 13 of 2012 is the state’s unconventional gas well impact fee legislation.

Act 13 authorizes the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) to collect drilling impact fees on unconventional oil and gas wells. The fees are distributed annually to state agencies, counties and municipalities based on allocation formulas.

The Unconventional Gas Well Fund distributes impact fee money only to counties and municipalities with unconventional wells, while the Marcellus Legacy Fund is distributed to all counties, with or without wells. Crawford County receives money from both funds.

Interior Allocates Another $64 Million to Plug Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells

The money, which comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will be used to plug more than 300 abandoned wells that were drilled on federal public lands, such as national wildlife refuges, national forests and Bureau of Land Management lands.

In the Mountain West, that includes plugging a dozen wells in Wyoming, one in Colorado, one in Montana, and one in Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

Federal funds are also being used for pre- and post-plugging work at well sites on lands managed by the National Park Service in a handful of states, including New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah.
