Alberta 's Orphan Well Association is tasked with reclaiming wells from companies that go bankrupt.

A new report says the annual levy is too low to fund the cleanup of orphaned oil and gas wells.

The report calls for the annual process of determining the levy to be open to the public.

The Alberta Energy Regulator recently announced the association will collect $144 million in levies.
