Injection approval catches up

twenty-oneWhen you buy a property, make sure you transfer its water flood or disposal approval -- not just its well and facility licences. It's really important. In this unusual case, the disposal approval was not transferred to the new owner and now that owner finds itself in noncompliance problems -- 21 years later. We found this using AppIntel.

It's a surprisingly convoluted story embracing false identities and ownership, regulatory compulsion upon the wrong party.

  • Company N sold a property to Company B including some disposal wells.
  • The regulator mistakenly transferred the disposal scheme approval (but not the wells) to Company C several years later.
  • The regulator unilaterally changed the disposal scheme to a water flood scheme and invoked a VRR clause, but only told Company C.
  • Now, 21 years later, Company B is finally aware that they are significantly over-injected and are facing noncompliance measures.
