Description

This form is an agreement allowing a lessee to drill a well on the owners lands and dispose of water produced from other lands. A Nebraska Surface and Salt Water Disposal Lease Well, also known as a disposal well, is a specific type of well that is drilled and used by a lessee for the purpose of disposing of water produced by others. These wells play a crucial role in managing and maintaining the environmental integrity of oil and gas production operations. These disposal wells are designed to safely and efficiently dispose of large quantities of contaminated water, also known as produced water, which is a byproduct of oil and gas extraction. By drilling a disposal well, lessees are able to separate the produced water from other fluids and solids, treat it if necessary, and then safely inject it deep underground for permanent disposal. There are different types of Nebraska Surface and Salt Water Disposal Lease Wells, depending on the specific needs and characteristics of the oil and gas operation. Some common types include: 1. Injection Wells: These wells are used to inject produced water directly into deep underground formations, usually below any freshwater aquifers. Injection wells require careful planning and monitoring to ensure that the injected water is not negatively impacting the environment. 2. Reinfection Wells: In some cases, produced water can be treated to remove any harmful substances and then reinfected into the oil or gas reservoir from which it was extracted. This process helps maintain reservoir pressure and maximize the recovery of oil or gas. 3. SD Wells: Short for Salt Water Disposal Wells, these are specifically designed for the disposal of high-salinity produced water that cannot be effectively treated or reused. SD wells are typically drilled to reach suitable geological formations for the safe and permanent disposal of this saline water. 4. Multi-Zone Disposal Wells: These disposal wells are drilled in areas where multiple oil or gas reservoirs are present. They allow the lessee to dispose of produced water from different formations through a single well, reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency. When drilling a Nebraska Surface and Salt Water Disposal Lease Well, lessees must comply with strict regulations imposed by state and federal authorities to ensure the protection of the environment and public health. Regular monitoring and reporting of well operations, water quality, and injection volumes are essential to maintain compliance and mitigate any potential risks. In conclusion, a Nebraska Surface and Salt Water Disposal Lease Well is a specialized well that lessees use to safely dispose of the water produced during oil and gas extraction. Different types of disposal wells cater to varying disposal needs, such as injection wells, reinfection wells, SD wells, and multi-zone disposal wells. These wells require careful planning, monitoring, and adherence to regulations to protect the environment and maintain the integrity of oil and gas production operations.
