Dwight Popowich
Dwight Popowich has been a landowner near Two Hills, Alberta, for over 26 years, where he has raised concerns about the environmental and financial impact of orphan oil wells on his 75-acre recreational farmland. His property was affected by a well drilled by Sequoia Resources Corp., which ceased operations in 2012, leaving the responsibility for cleanup uncertain. Popowich is a vocal advocate for increased accountability from oil and gas companies and has become a central figure in the Coalition for Responsible Energy's appeal against the Alberta Energy Regulator, arguing for a fairer cleanup fund to address the growing orphan well crisis in the province.
