Outside of the federal government funding out of the COVID pandemic recovery the orphan well fund is funded by industry. Now the existing UCP government is retrying to change that but historically industry is taking care of industries liability.
The Narwhal has an excellent article on the topic but in general it’s active industry cleaning up their own wells because of AER regulation and industry cleaning up legacy wells from bankrupt companies.
