They likely would have been abandoned a good while ago if they were owned by another operator. There is a ton of abandonment work going on in this area for this vintage of well. The locale and existing infrastructure made them last longer than they likely would of.
But your link between orphan wells and abandoning these wells doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
