UIC Application Process (Rule 325)
COGCC Rule 325 outlines the application process for
underground injection.
• Form 2 – Permit to Drill
• Form 2A – Oil and Gas Location Assessment
• Form 4 – Sundry Notice
• Form 5 – Drilling Completion Report
• Form 5A – Completed Interval Report
• Form 31 – Injection Permit Application
• Form 33 – Injection Well Permit Application
• Form 26 – Source of Produced Water
• Form 21 – Mechanical Integrity Test
• Form 42 – Notice of Notification (Notice of Hydraulic Fracturing)
• Form 7 – Report of Monthly Injection Volume and Pressure

Form 31 & 33 Support Information • Proposed injection program
• Surface owner agreement
• Notice to surface and mineral owners – within a ¼-mile
• Remedial correction plan for wells – all wells within the ¼-mile for
water migrating
• Maps and listso All wells (oil and gas and water) within ¼ mile of injection well
o Map of producing wells within ½ mile of injection well
o Maps and lists of all surface and mineral owners within ¼ mile of injection well
o Unit area plat (required for enhanced recovery)
• Surface facility plan view
• Water analysis for injection zone (total dissolved solids)
• Well Bore Diagram
• Step Rate Test for fracture gradient
• MIT (Mechanical Integrity Test)is performed• If commercial facility, description of operations and area served

CEMENT BOND LOG
317.o. Requirement to log well. For all new drilling operations, the operator shall
be required to run a minimum of a resistivity log with gamma-ray or other
petrophysical log(s) approved by the Director that adequately describe the
stratigraphy of the wellbore. A cement bond log shall be run
on all production casing or, in the case of a
production liner, the intermediate casing, when
these casing strings are run. These logs and all other logs run
shall be submitted with the Well Completion or Recompletion Report and Log, Form
5. Open hole logs shall be run at depths that adequately verify the setting depth of
surface casing and any aquifer coverage. These requirements shall not apply to the
unlogged open hole completion intervals, or to wells in which no open hole logs are
run.

STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
ALL APPROVED INJECTION PERMITS HAVE:
Maximum Allowable Injection Pressure and Rate that is below the injection zone fracture pressure.
Maximum Allowable Injection Volume: this is calculated
to hold the radius of influence of injected fluid to ¼ Mile. The volume may be
increased at a later date with additional review and approval by COGCC.
There may be special data, test or log required periodically.
o Bradenhead test
o Temperature, radioactive or noise logs
o Cased hole integrity logs
o Transit Analysis.

UIC Inspection and EnforcementFOR BOTH DISPOSAL AND SECONDARY RECOVERY
All UIC wells are inspected annuallyo INJECTION PRESSURE IS CHECKED
o ANNULAR PRESSURE IS CHECKED
All UIC wells are pressure tested for casing integrity
every 5-years.
All UIC wells are equipped with a packer and tubing
annulus are inspected for leaks through by opening the
tubing annulus value.
Any well showing abnormal pressure on the tubing
annulus is required to cease injection, be repaired of
abandoned.

Calculation of Maximum Injection
Pressure
FG = (Bottom Hole Step Rate Test Pressure ) Depth Injection
1. Calculate the fracture gradient (FG, psig/ft):
2. Calculate the maximum surface injection pressure (Pmax, psig):
Pmax = [FG - (0.433*Specific Gravity)] * Depth Injection
Hydraulic Gradient, psig/ft = 0.433*Specific GravityFresh Water Gradient = 0.433 psig/ft.

1. AXPC Traffic Light criteria will apply.
2. Injection resumes at 5,000 barrels of water per day
(BWPD) with a maximum injection pressure of 1,512 psi.
for 20 days.
3. If no M 2.5 seismic events may increase to 7,500 BWPD at
1,512 psi. for 20 days.
4. If no M 2.5 seismic events for 20 days NGL may request an
increased injection rate.
5. NGL will install a permanent seismometer station near the
Well.
