The State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama requires a bond before a permitted oil, gas, or Class II injection well is drilled, operated, or produced, conditioned on proper plugging, abandonment, and site restoration under the Board's Administrative Code (400-series rules). Single-well amounts scale with measured depth — commonly $5,000 (≤5,000 ft) up to $50,000 (>20,000 ft). Confirm the controlling figure on your permit packet.
