I heard one of many trick they do is creating the shell companies to produce a specific movie. Than that company pay for borrowing equipments, studios, licences etc from parent company… And than its bankruped beecouse the move “didn’t do that well”… All profits ate transfered upfront, while or costs are part of the bankruptcy process.
When a well starts approaching end of life, they transfer it to a shell company that only owns the well site and anything they can’t profit from / move elsewhere.
So when the well dies, they just leave and the shell company goes bankrupt, leaving the polluted well site behind and taxpayers to pick up the tab.

The oil industry does a similar thing.

System is working…
