Introduction
On December 2, 1981, Oklahoma received authority from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to administer the Underground Injection
Control (UIC) program. This authority is called ¡°Primacy¡± in the UIC program.
In order to receive primacy, Oklahoma had to reach the federal requirements
written under Part C, Section 1425 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, Public Law 93523 as amended.
The UIC rules were written to enforce both federal and state laws governing the
protection of underground sources of drinking water as mandated by the Safe
Drinking Water Act of 1974.
In Oklahoma, the term ¡°treatable¡± water is used instead of underground source of
drinking water in order to avoid confusion with the state definition of fresh water.
Treatable water as explained under OAC Rule 165:10-1-2, Definitions: Subsurface
water in its natural state, useful or potentially useful for drinking water for human
consumption, domestic livestock, irrigation, industrial, municipal, and recreational
purposes, and which will support aquatic life, and contains less than 10,000
mg/liter total dissolved solids or less than 5,000 ppm chlorides. Treatable water
includes, but is not limited to, fresh water.
The Underground Injection Control Department has written this brochure to assist
industry in understanding the concept of the UIC Program and the understanding
of the most common types of problems encountered when complying with the
most commonly used UIC Forms. It should be stated that nothing in this brochure
should be interpreted to supersede the Rules of the Oil and Gas Conservation
Division. Should anything contained herein conflict with Oklahoma Administrative
Code Rules, it should be understood that OAC Rules supersede all comments,
statements and material contained within this brochure.
Permitting
3
The UIC Department is responsible for the permitting of Enhanced Recovery
Injection Wells (both water and gas injection), Disposal Wells (commercial and
non-commercial), and Annular Injection Wells (injection of reserve pit fluids down
the annulus). Most often the requested permits for injection and disposal wells are
for the conversion of an existing depleted production well or a plugged well.
The rules governing the injection wells are OAC 165:10-5-1 through OAC 165:105-15, OAC 165:5-7-27, OAC 165:5-7-30, the request for an exception to UIC rules
under OAC 165:5-7-29, and other rules governing filing, forms, notices, etc. as
listed in the general rules and regulations of the Oil and Gas Conservation Division
of the OCC.
An applicant will be required to file the appropriate form depending upon the type
of permit needed. The form 1015 application is used for commercial disposal,
non-commercial disposal, enhanced recovery injection, and LPG. The form 1015T
is for annular injection. And finally the Form 1015SI is for permitting a
simultaneous injection well. The required supporting documents can vary and a
list of them can be found on the second or the back side of the forms. Most
information required to complete the above permits can be found on previously
submitted well completion reports, form 1002A, and other Commission documents
found on document imaging.
Some areas of the 1015 forms that may give difficulty in obtaining are the surface
casing depth, base of treatable water, porosity and permeability documentation,
and ¡°problem wells¡± in the immediate vicinity of the proposed injection/disposal
well.
As stated earlier, the goal of UIC is to protect underground treatable water. To do
this, the Commission has established curtailed requirements such as, ¡®the well
should have surface casing set and cemented at least 50 feet below the base of
treatable water¡¯(ref: OAC 165:10-3-4). The depth of treatable water can be
obtained for any location from Commission maps through email at
ogbtw@. In the case of an older well being converted to an
injection/disposal and not having the required amount of surface casing, an
alternative way will need to be found in order to comply with the previous rule.
The production casing (long string) would need to be squeeze cemented a
minimum of 50 feet below the base of treatable water to comply. In rare cases, an
