Well abandonment data are assumed complete at the time of the analysis on Sept. 15.

If second quarter structure removal data are underreported by 10%, then 53(1.1) = 58 structures were abandoned in the quarter but not reported at the time of analysis. This would raise the yearend removals to 285.

The total number of well abandonments and structure removals will not be known with certainty until March 2012.
