Safe closure

Well abandonment and tamponage

A worn, damaged or unusable well must be abandoned correctly. This helps reduce risk to aquifers and the surrounding environment.

Why tamponage matters

An abandoned well can become a pathway for contamination between soil layers. Abandonment uses interval filling and isolation.

Typical sequence

The well condition is assessed, the pump is removed, cleaning is performed and the relevant intervals are filled.

TODO: verify current State Environmental Service requirements and license wording before publication.

Clarify before work starts

  • Well passport or available technical data
  • Whether a pump is inside the well
  • Well location and access
  • Current requirement and permit wording
