Part One - Carbon Storage in Gas Wells - I support this idea
Part Two - Well Security Changes - I disagree with well transfers and setting up a trust to hold the gas well owners money until the well is plugged. A Trust is designed for tax purposes, not as a savings account. The cost to set up a Trust would be at least $1500.00, half as much as the $3000.00 Trust. Not cost effective. The $3000.00 stated for an onshore well less than 450 m deep would include most private gas wells used by individual private gas well owners for their private use. As all of us are aware $3000.00, even for a simple well plugging is well below plugging rates. If the government is serous to plug gas wells, a policy needs to be made were the land owner pays a set amount ( Possibly $4000.00 ) and the government pays the rest. In addition the Abandon Well Works Program needs to more transparent with public representation, possibly from the Private Natural Gas Well Association

Dispositions réglementaires proposées pour les « projets spéciaux » visant à tester ou à démontrer de nouvelles activités, y compris le stockage du carbone, et à supprimer les plafonds de sécurité et les exemptions pour tous les puits à l'avenir.
