After years of no response the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is still seeking a response for abandoned oil and gas wells in Slippery Rock.
In October of last year, the DEP issued an order to S.R. Star O&G LLC to plug 11 abandoned oil and gas wells. By December of 2025 the DEP completed another inspection that found the owner had still failed to plug at least one well.
The wells are located just over a half mile east of route 8 and south of Branchton Road near the Slippery Rock Creek.
The original violation stems from March 2024 when an annual report had not been filed and a failure to plug the abandoned well was issued in April 2025.
DEP is still requesting a response for the violations.
