I strongly urge anyone to take a look into Alberta's orphan well situation before taking these sorts of industry claims at face value.

Which isn't to say no development must take place. But these are exactly the sorts of organizations who will take every opportunity to screw us for a penny so every i needs to be dotted and t crossed when it comes to their contractual obligations wrt clean up and environmental restoration.
