Tribal Orphaned Wells Program | U.S. Department of the Interior Countdown to America's 250th Anniversary : July 4th 2026 Tribal Orphaned Wells Program In accordance with 42 U.S.C. 15907(d)(1)(A), the Orphaned Wells Program Office administers the Tribal Orphaned Wells Program and makes available up to $150 million for Tribal well plugging, remediation and restoration activities.
Through this Program, Tribes are eligible for two types of grants: Implementation grants to fund the plugging, remediation, and reclamation of orphaned wells and well sites; and smaller Development grants to create and administer programs for well identification, assessment, training, and capacity building.
Through “in lieu of grant” funding, Tribes may request that the Department administer and carry out plugging, remediation, and reclamation activities related to eligible orphaned wells on their behalf.
