Covering plugging of holes to preserve fresh water supplies, this book also details the how tos for plugging and abandonment with information on everything from materials and locating abandoned wells to current state rules for oil and gas wells, as well as water wells.

"The OWRB sets minimum well construction standards and licenses drillers of water wells, observation wells, water well test holes, monitoring wells, heat pump wells and geotechnical borings. The OWRB licenses water well pump installers, regulates the plugging and sealing of abandoned wells and requires exact steps in filling, sealing and capping these structures when they are removed from use. The Rules and Regulations concerning well plugging are laws of the state, and they are set out to protect Oklahoma's fresh groundwater basins from pollution and waste and safeguard its citizens from accidents."--Page 1.
