40,000BBL Injection Well “Fountain” Leak Prompts Calls for EPA Regulatory Takeover

November 18, 2022

Ohio regulators are reviewing their role and laws for SWD injection wells following allegations of “chronic violations” and a “culture of permissiveness”. Ohio is one of the more SWD-friendly states, receiving and disposing of huge amounts of produced water from contiguous Pennsylvania, among others. However, a disastrous leak of an injection well into an oil well, two miles away, resulted in 40k barrels of toxic wastewater coming up thousands of feet to the surface in a “fountain", contaminating local land and streams. By reducing wastewater volumes by >90%, EcoVAP can practically eliminate the need to truck wastewater and greatly reduces the volume and required PSI for SWDs: www.EcoVAP.com.Article:‍
