  • Typically 1-5 year duration
  • Annual inspection requirements
  • Lower initial cost
  • Requires bond maintenance
  • Re-entry possible
🔒
Permanent Abandonment
Full P&A with all zones isolated and surface restored
  • Multiple cement plugs required
  • All zones must be isolated
  • Casing cut below surface
  • Higher initial cost
  • Bond release possible
  • No future liability
🛠
Zone Abandonment
Isolate specific zones while maintaining well integrity
  • Selective zone isolation
  • Continue producing other zones
  • Cement squeeze or plug
  • Moderate cost
  • Regulatory notification required
  • Well remains active
