GUTHRIE — The Oklahoma Energy Resources Board reached another milestone last week with its cleanup of old well-site debris at Fairklaus Farms.

The restoration completed Nov. 24 was the 14,000th since OERB began cleaning up abandoned well sites in 1993.

“We are proud of the work we’ve done to reach 14,000 well-site restorations,” said Steve Sowers, OERB’s environmental director. “However, we are more proud of being able to help thousands of families by restoring their property and returning Oklahoma land to its once pristine condition.”

OERB, which is funded by voluntary contributions from the state’s oil and natural gas industry and royalty owners, has spent more than $90 million on cleanups over the past 11 years, at no cost to landowners.
