I guess this is very similar to "decommissioned" or "abandoned" well, but I would rather not use these translations as their terms have come up already. Thanks!

Sí, como bien dices, son pozos abandonados que fueron productivos en un momento determinado, pero que en la actualidad están inactivos, y no tienen un responsable identificable. Su propietario los abandonó (de ahí la expresión “orphan wells”).

Apparently an "Orphan" well is well that has been abandoned for more than 12 months and does not have a legal owner, as you mentioned. Hence the "Orphan" name... Thanks!
