Question: how much does it cost to cap an oil well?
Answer: for wells less than 6000 feet that's $35,000 for 50 wells = $700 per well with the actual cost of plugging being $5000 - $20,000 per well. for wells deeper than 6000 feet that's $140,000 for 25 wells = $5600 per well with the actual cost of plugging being $50,000 - $100,000 or more.
