List of UIC Class 2 Wells on this Site
The table below shows all the disposal wells and area permits for which documents are available on this site. The permit numbers are links to a page with information about the well or area permit. Each page has links to documents related to the well or area permit including most recent permit application and permit and geographic location. Sometimes there are other documents available such as inspection reports, completion reports, and Mechanical Integrity Test reports.
There are two types of disposal well permits, non-commercial and commercial. A non-commercial permit allows the operator to use the well to dispose of only their waste. A commercial permit allows an operator to dispose of other operators' oil and gas waste. Generally commercial wells have larger facilities designed to handle large volumes of waste. In a few cases commercial wells are part of a much larger waste management facility where there might be several injection wells associated with that facility.
A Class 2R area permit covers a specific geographic area with a defined boundary within which there are a number of injection wells associated with production wells. The injection wells are used to inject fresh water or oil and gas waste into a producing formation to enhance recovery of oil or natural gas through nearby production wells. Each injection well within an area permit operates under the conditions of the area permit.
Well status is as of 16 January 2021.
