Abstract |
The report lists 110 industrial waste injection wells located in 16 states and gives some of their characteristics. Data include operator, location, date operation was begun, well depth, injection depth, rock type and the geological age, chemical and physical character of the injected waste, injection rate and pressure, and the source of information. A statistical analysis of the well data is given in a table, and a graph shows the number of wells placed in operation from 1950 to January 1967. About 82% of the injections wells are used by chemicals, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical products plants; refineries and natural gas plants; and metal products companies. (Author) |
