Disposal Wells

Disposal wells are getting to be everywhere in eastern Ohio. We have seen videos/maps/spreadsheets/informative drawings,etc. on horizontal wells, but very little info on injection wells. I think I read somewhere where Ohio has 180 some of em and 36 or so more permitted. So I've asked questions to some people I know who work in the Oil&Gas industry,but they couldn't answer em. I think Eastern Ohio citizens need to know more, from the landowners to the tree huggers. So just what is the stuff going down there? Where does it go? I talked to some guys that haul waste water to them and they said it's a 9000ft. hole that they inject the wastewater in and it never seems to fill up. truck after truck rolls in and it doesn't ever come to the top.What is going on down there at 8000/9000 ft? How big is the pipe? Is it perforated,or do the fluids just go out of the bottom of the pipe? Why don't other states allow it? How much does the landowner make on one of these? With the amount of trucks coming and going.Do they have to post bonds and be responsible to fix the roads? It isn't just during drilling and fracking wells that the wastewater is produced,but long after the wells have been completed,there is more of it coming up. So there's gonna be a need for many more disposal wells. Will the ones in operation now ever be used up, or shut in, or are they there for as long as wastewater needs a hole to go into?

1) Pa. does not have the best geological formations to hold the water disposed of. Otherwise, they would not pay to truck it hundreds of miles away,

but could just do a disposal well, right where the shale well is.

 .......  .It is a different formation.

2) There is ALOT of government oversite in Ohio, ODNR is the main one.

Tom does an excellent job, and is a resource in his own right, in Ohio @ ODNR.

Your interests here are being protected by 'the gummit'

about as much as they are anywhere else....probably more so.

How much did YOU pay them, this year?

How much did disposal/oil co pay them? Who do you suppose they listen to more?

Its pretty much a financial equation, when it comes to The Gummit.

If a number of citizens lets say, get up in arms about these things..

.........for some reason...

if that numbers taxes exceed gummit income from disposal well operators

in the area/sate........ there will be some action.

And often, when one part of the gummit does something,

many wish it would not have after the fact.

....... like for example,

raising taxes and regs on producers raising costs and hassles

 to the point where they just say

'F it, lets go drill overseas, or in another state...

 we never have to put up with this bs there,

and government and labor both like us and are relatively cheap to work with'

I wish I could have this problem at my site soon.....

do you have a viable alternative?

And someone to fund it?

Tell me a bit more if you would.

Some of these recycling schemes either have to be done on site

or can be logistically complicated.

Talked to Texas A&M University about this for a while,

then another outfit that wanted to set up recycling.

All I had to do was raise $6MM for the FIRST working model in the field

-Only 1MM more than a huge disposal well / proven technology
