You don't abandon a well that will produce on its own.
Not entirely true. A well that is too high pressure to safely produce will be abandoned. Some times they blow out, causing massive release of gas/oil and possibly explosion. There was "Old Salty" in Alberta, which had a blow out that lasted 87 years. It was drilled in 1916 and finally plugged in 2003. Russia once used a nuclear bomb to plug one of their wells that blew. You make it sound all so benign. Plugged ones eventually leak as casing erode with time and reservoir pressures change.
