No such transfer shall relieve the well owner or operator of any obligation accrued under this act, nor shall it relieve him of the obligation to plug said well until the requirements of section 215 have been met, after which time the transferring owner or operator shall be relieved from any obligation under this act, including the obligation to plug said well.
