Underground Injection Control

UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL

Deep Injection Wells Deep injection wells provide an environmentally responsible way of disposing of waste products from waste operations in underground geological formations. These materials include chemicals from various manufacturing processes, acid gases extracted from natural gas during processing, and carbon dioxide captured at the production source and buried to keep it from entering the atmosphere. WSP professionals have either prepared or made technical assessments on Underground Infection Control (UIC)-related permit applications or “No-Migration” petitions for wells in all EPA regions, participating in the development of one-third of all Class I hazardous WSP provides a wide range of services for traditional reservoir storage (or disposal) in sandstones, limestones, conglomerates, or other types of porous media. Liquid waste byproducts and carbon capture and storage (CCS) operators are both involved in the management of waste streams. Our engineers and geologists are well trained for most types of disposal projects nationwide. We hold a major share of the U.S. market in specialty deep well engineering for underground gas storage and became the market leader for injection well waste disposal engineering (EPA UIC Class I and Class II). Our services have grown to include reservoir disposal of acid gas (CO2/H2S, Class II) and similarly designed Carbon Capture (CO 2 , Class VI) wells. Workovers and Well Testing Injection/disposal wells (EPA UIC Class I, II, VI) require regular maintenance and testing to ensure integrity for continued operations. Most of these types of wells are regulated today by either the federal government and/or by states. In addition to regulatory compliance, it is not unusual for wells to have operational issues that need to be addressed with workovers or repairs like tubing cleanouts or replacements. With WSP’s team of engineers, project managers, testing engineers, and supporting departments, we are readily equipped to handle projects of all sizes. The majority of our staff has 10-30 years of experience, with key support from certified project management professionals and professional engineers. This level of expertise allows our team to meet client needs, deliver projects across the U.S., and support even the largest of programs. well petition applications. Storage or Disposal

WSP geotechnical engineers are established specialists in geotechnical engineering, hydrology, geology, geophysics, seismology, and rock mechanics. Beyond the technical expertise, our staff recognizes that geotechnical services begin with project planning and design and extends into the construction phase. We maintain a full-service, automated soils laboratory and specialized geotechnical exploration tools. These resources allow us to utilize a greater number of tools to evaluate sites and develop more cost-effective solutions. Through WSP’s state-of the-art exploratory techniques, our professionals determine the behavior of soil, rock, and water as they are affected by natural phenomena and construction activities.
