Deep saline aquifers are being used for disposal of hazardous liquid wastes. A thorough knowledge of the competency of such aquifers and their confining geologic beds in permanently isolating the hazardous substances is the key to successful disposal operations.

The first well on which testing was attempted was the Alice C. Plantation No. 2 Well, located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. Originally drilled by the Sun Oil Company to a total depth of 19,000 feet, this well was abandoned as a dry hole in January 1964. Gruy's reentry attempt ended with plugging and ...
The success of a well decommissioning program in any state or region depends on knowing where the wells are. At that point, proper measures must be taken to properly decommission the well and to do so at a reasonable cost. The key player in this scenario is often the drilling contractor, the pump installer, and any ground water ...
A 1984 survey of stripper wells shows that 14,000 were abandoned that year on the grounds that they could not produce enough oil to pay the taxes, royalties, and operating expenses. Stripper wells produced over 463 million barrels of oil in 1984, and accounted for about 15% of US total oil production and about 70% of US oil ...
