Class II Injection Wells

Class II injection wells are used to inject fluids:

  1. That are brought to the surface in connection with natural gas storage operations, or conventional oil or natural gas production and may be commingled with waste waters from gas plants which are an integral part of production operations, unless those waters are classified as a hazardous waste at the time of injection.
  2. For enhanced recovery of oil or natural gas; and
  3. For storage of hydrocarbons that are liquid at standard temperature and pressure.

The UIC Program for Class II injection well activities is administered by the Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining. Please contact Gilbert Hunt at (801) 538 - 5297 or GILHUNT@utah.gov for more information regarding these activities.
