The Underground Injection Control Program Regulations require that an “area of review” be determined for new injection wells. Analytical equations may be used to determine pressure buildup in disposal zones. However, in reviewing areas that have numerous injection wells discharging into the same zone, care must be used to take into account the effect of all the injection wells on the pressure buildup.
