At some point you have to abandon the wells and pipelines which costs money or you have to continue to monitor well integrity. I would assume most would just suspend operations so the only costs would me monitoring integrity.
One risk to the province would be companies going bankrupt without doing any reclamation on old non productive assets. This could lead to environmental liability falling to the province.
