v: to cease producing oil and gas from a well when it becomes unprofitable or to cease further work on a newly drilled well when it proves not to contain profitable quantities of oil or gas. Several steps are involved: part of the casing may be removed and salvaged;one or more cement plugs are placed in the borehole to prevent migration of fluids between the different formations penetrated by the borehole;and the well is abandoned. In most oil-producing states, it is necessary to secure permission from official agencies before a well may be abandoned.

to cease efforts to produce or inject fluids in a wells and to plug the well sufficiently to protect the environment and the ability to redrill and develop other reserves at a later date.
