INTRODUCTION
Disposal of waste fluids from chemical plants at the Rocky Mountain
Arsenal was first recognized as a problem of major consequence when it
I
I
was found that unsealed evaporation pits permitted leakage into shallow
aquifers, contaminating an important water supply near the surface.
In
order to meet this emergency the Chemical Corps of the U. S. Army sealed
native methods for handling these waste fluids on a more permanent basis
Alter-
in the future were considered by the Chemical Corps, and it was decided
to drill a deep pressure injection disposal well near Pond F.
The design
and drilling of this well were assigned to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Omaha District.
The feasibility of disposing of chemical waste fluids from industrial
plants and refineries into subsurface reservoirs has been well established.
It is not uncommon to seek suitable injection reservoirs at depths approaching 7, 500 feet although the preponderance of wells drilled specifically for
this purpose has been considerably shallower.

A total of 62 feet of "J" sandstone was cut in two cores in which

Morrison Formation
During the drilling of the 186 foot interval of the Morrison fornmtion
penetrated between 8, 786 and 8, 972 feet none of the strata exhibited
characteristics of sufficient quality to warrant coring or drill stem testing.
From a qualitative analysis of the well logs and other well data,
none of the zones are indicated to have significant porosity or indications
or permeability to be of interest.

CURSORY CONSIDERATIONS
FOR INJFCTION WELL OPERATIONS
The final phase of the construction of the disposal well was the
physical completion an, preliminary injection testing.
Indications were
that the open-hole interval was capable of accepting 400 to 800 gallons of
water per minute with a corresponding surface pressure less than 2, 000
psig.
STIMULATION
In the event that the disposal reservoir currently exposed to the
wellbore stops accepting commercial quantities of waste water within the

the storage capacity of this reservoir has been reached, another reservoir

Additional methods are available for stimulation treatments but are considerably more specialized in their
applications.
An investigation of such items as pressure behavior, fluid composition, matrix rock characteristics,
etc. , is
required to recommend the type and method of stimulation for the inalividual
zone or zones to be treated.
FLUID COMPATIBILITIES
The large volume of fluid to be disposed of at the Rocky Mountain
cipitates from the immediate vicinity of the wellbore minimizes derogatory effects.

CORROSION
Two corrosion possibilities exist with injection or producing wells.
First there is the possibility of external attack and second the possibility
of intarnal attack.
External
The action of ground waters and other sources of possible external
corrosion should be minimized at the disposal well because of the complete
isolation of the casing from the borehole by the cement sheath.
