Roulette Oil & Gas

Roulette Oil & Gas drilled the Guardian Pad B 6H shale gas well in February 2011 in Hebron Township, Potter County. The well was granted inactive status on September 7, 2012. The inactive status expired on September 7, 2017. At that point, the well should have been plugged but was not. On August 23, 2023, Roulette applied to extend inactive status and was sent a final denial of that request on February 14, 2024, by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). On January 21, the DEP and Roulette Oil & Gas signed a consent order and agreement requiring the company to plug a shale gas well that has been, for all intents, abandoned for 8 years.
