Evidence

Heinrich said he "look[s] forward to working with Pearce on efforts to address orphan wells," adding that both see it as a priority for BLM after Pearce's confirmation.

This is the clearest recent sign that Heinrich is actively engaging the new BLM director on orphan-well efforts, but it shows intent to work together rather than completed policy action.

Heinrich and Senate Democrats said they secured commitments from BLM nominee Steve Pearce during his confirmation hearing, establishing an earlier formal channel for working with the future director.

This supports that Heinrich took concrete steps to engage the BLM nominee before confirmation, but the release does not itself show orphan-well delivery.

partial same_term A for effort

The promise was to work with the BLM director on orphan-well efforts. The evidence shows Heinrich publicly committed to working with newly confirmed BLM Director Steve Pearce on orphan wells and had earlier used the confirmation process to secure commitments from Pearce. That is a concrete effort toward the promised collaboration in the same federal Senate term, but the record provided does not show a completed orphan-well policy outcome or measurable implementation attributable to Heinrich. This supports partial credit with an effort badge, not full delivery.
