The Orphan Fund Procurement Program is responsible for identifying orphaned upstream oil and gas well and facility sites in Saskatchewan. Using the funds within the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Orphan Fund (SOGOF), this program is responsible for securing vendors to abandon, decommission, and reclaim orphaned well and facility sites.
