◦ 2.2 Deepwell Disposal Philosophy
Deepwell disposal of oilfield and industrial waste waters in Alberta is a safe and viable
disposal option where wells are properly constructed, operated, and monitored. Deepwell
disposal should remain as an option, but should be guided by the following principles:
• waste minimization shall be implemented prior to using the deepwell disposal option;
• resource conservation, including surface water and the waste streams themselves, shall be
pursued whenever possible;
• disposal wells will be classified and designed, on the basis of the fluid being injected, so as
to provide for increased monitoring and surveillance of operations of wells injecting
sensitive waste fluids;
• waste fluids shall not be diluted solely for the purpose of avoiding waste fluid classification;
and
• operators of surface facilities that generate or process waste material that is disposed through
Class Ia or Class lb wells are expected to design and operate those facilities using sound
waste management practices and principles of waste minimization.

The main characteristic that will determine the viability of setting up
a water recycling plant at your individual Disposal Well Site is its
LOCATION relative to your customers.
