Salt Water Disposal Lease and Agreement Using Existing Well Bore

While drilling costs can vary markedly based on the site geology, the target zone, and well depth, the total facility cost can easily reach $3 million to $4 million even if the facility offers no produced water transportation via pipeline.

A salt water disposal (SWD) well is a disposal site for water produced as a result of the oil and gas extraction process. Produced water, also referred to as salt water, contains particulate which can cause problems for the pump bringing water into the well.

An injection well is used to place fluid underground into porous geologic formations. These underground formations may range from deep sandstone or limestone, to a shallow soil layer. Injected fluids may include water, wastewater, brine (salt water), or water mixed with chemicals.

How Saltwater Disposal Works. Saltwater is typically ejected from the wells into natural underground formations sealed within an impenetrable rock to prevent the saltwater from escaping into surrounding soil and groundwater.

Disposal wells inject saltwater into underground formations, often over a mile in depth, into sub-surface zones that already contain naturally occurring saltwater. In contrast, wells that supply fresh water can vary in depth throughout the state, but generally range from no deeper than a few hundred to a thousand feet.

1. n. Well Completions A well, often a depleted oil or gas well, into which waste fluids can be injected for safe disposal. Disposal wells typically are subject to regulatory requirements to avoid the contamination of freshwater aquifers.

SWD uses an ARM CPU standard bi-directional wire protocol, defined in the ARM Debug Interface v5. This enables the debugger to become another AMBA bus master for access to system memory and peripheral or debug registers. The Debug Access Port (DAP) is split into two main control units.
