I'm no expert however have worked in the field in your area but mostly natural gas in NE.
Brine or salt water is generally the part of fracking fluids so if these wells were older and not fracked this is a smaller concern.
However wells now have to be protected from ground water and other contaminants. W.virg. and Pa. All production is monitored by DEP, EPA and a variety of other agencies and must be handled by licensed and certified operators. Production products are then hauled off site by regulated trucking or by pipeline the like of which costs millions in planning, approvals and construction. All operation has to be monitored by qualified individuals 3rd party. A 5 gallon spill is considered a reportable spill and will cost 100k+ per incident. 2 incidents will result in complete shut done. Storage is a whole other set of regulations.
Removal of product or waste from wellsite stays your responsibility until product is off loaded into purchasers facility and waste stays your responsibility for all perpetuity. I know this because I signed bills of lading for waste that's now in a landfill that a company man was supposed to sign. Dep informed me personally that because I signed it as individual and not an assigned agent of the company that if that waste contaminated anything else I was personally responsible even in the landfill. The company I worked remediated spills and perform site work.
This post would go on forever if I wrote about all of the stuff I saw in 8yrs. My point is that this industry just won't let us just grab a bucket of oil and use it or sell it.
Capped wells can be brought back to life, They must be cased further grouted but to renew the pressure mostly fracked. Workover rigs etc..
Hate to burst a bubble on your entrepreneurial spirit but the is a really large can of worms.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
