GOOOD MORNING MAH!! keys dynamite post~I had to share!!$$$$
@Keys 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 1
@Keys So why is $MAH owning its own Disposal well a benefit? 0
@Keys Costs for produced water disposal (including disposal fees and/or accompanying handling fees) ranged from $. 04/bbl to $1.88/bbl. An operator who used a company-owned fresh water disposal well reported the lowest per barrel cost ($. 04/bbl) for disposal. 3
@Keys For example : In central Kansas the cost to dispose of produced salt water varies greatly depending upon how it is delivered to the disposal site. Trucked water currently costs a total of $1.60/barrel to dispose, including the cost of trucking. Produced water delivered to the disposal site by pipeline is charged at a rate of $500/per month if the volume is less than 500 barrels per day. Volumes above 500 bbls/day are an additional $1 per barrel each month i.e. 750 barrels of produced water disposed each day would cost $750 per month. 3
