<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Active Disposal Well (ACT_DISP_PT) locations is a subset of well locations from the Well Surface Hole Locations (Permitted) that are used as disposal wells. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>A disposal well is often a depleted oil or gas well, into which waste fluids can be injected for safe disposal. A by-product of oil and gas production is water that was either trapped in the same deep formations, was injected to stimulate a formation (hydraulic fracturing), or was injected to enhance oil recovery. This water is generally highly saline and not suited for domestic purposes. Water specific to fracture return may be recycled for further use, or disposed by injection into deep subsurface formations, through a disposal well. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Surface discharge of produced water is prohibited in B.C. Water used during hydraulic fracturing is not discharged into surface waters, such as lakes and streams, and is not discharged into near surface aquifers used for potable water supply.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This information is updated nightly.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
