Abstract:
The West Virginia Geological Survey began a pilot study on subsurface industrial waste disposal in 1972 under a research grant from the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Electronic data processing (EDP) was chosen as the means of information assimilation and output. Data output includes maps showing freshwater and saltwater levels, oil and gas well locations, structure contours, isopachs, fracture pressure gradients, formation pressures, etc. A cost and effort determination has been made for each type of output, and leads to an overall evaluation of EDP for decision making in subsurface waste injection.
