After just two years, the operation was abandoned, leaving concerns about environmental cleanup and compliance with state regulations. The company has claimed it revitalizes low-producing wells, but environmentalists worry about the potential consequences of unmonitored and unmanaged well sites, especially regarding who will be responsible for their eventual cleanup.

Diversified Energy's abandonment of the gas wells without legal compliance has raised significant questions about environmental accountability and the future of these gas-producing sites.
