A major focus of this assessment was to investigative the geological, technical, and environmental feasibility of deep well injection, the adequacy of current regulations and regulatory practices. The design plans for constructing wells at seven injection facilities was included in the report.

Underground Injection of Industrial Waste in Illinois

The detailed plans for three deep wells drilled at Decatur, Illinois for the Illinois Basin – Decatur Project (IBDP) are provided. The well construction and completion operations were successfully executed, with all wells built in a manner that achieved excellent wellbore integrity. Log planning involved a number of stakeholders and technical specialists.

Drilling Completion and Data Collection Plans

Several brine extraction and treatment scenarios were tested, simulated, and analyzed for their effectiveness in extracting brine from deep geologic formations. Both vertical and horizontal wells designs were studied.
