anybody here a saltwater disposal well lessor?

[guywhofishes]

If so please PM me - I want to talk lease agreement pros/cons.

Or... if anybody has interesting stories/nightmares/pros/cons please chime in.

Is this like saltwater laser sportfishing?

YES I am fairly certain it is exactly like that ...

I know I wouldn't necessarily want a salt water disposal well anywhere near where I lived, hunted, or anything else. Lots of traffic, increased potential for a SW spill, etc. The amount they pay to the surface owner is not something I am familiar with though, so maybe it's attractive? One thing I do know is that the courts have ruled that salt water disposal rights belong to the surface owner, not the mineral rights owner.

Well when they spill, which they will do you will have a mini sahara where nothing grows.

 

[guywhofishes]

yes - I'm in the "release investigation" business so I know saltwater is the devil when it's spilled - there's not much that can be done

yes Allen, the traffic is our main concern - the general location they've chosen is already pretty well effed with other extraction infrastructure (not ours unfortunately - ha ha - we don't own any mineral rights)

It all depends. Some disposals have 90% of their SW coming in via pipeline. So very little traffic. If it's a disposal that is set up for pretty much just truck traffic that is another thing entirely. I wouldn't be so concerned about spills. They tanks are in a containment with a liner. I don't recall a big spill at a SW disposal. However there have been a couple burn up. Disposals are very lucrative. Probably as or more lucrative than an oil well over twenty to thirty years. The disposal I work with does 7000 barrels a day right now. Was improved to do 17,000 and will be shortly. I have heard that the landowner gets .20 cents a barrel. That's a damn nice amount of money.

Wow that is a nice chunk of money. Plus I'm guessing he was paid $$ upfront for land damage.

 

[eyexer]

I'm sure he was.

There is a rancher/farmer Robert Bud Griffin around the Dickinson area that had a salt water disposal well on his property. Sure he was making some cash until the Feds closed and locked the wellhead for environmental violation in 2012. Well name is Halek 2-22.Company went out of business leaving a disaster on his property. State will most likely have to pick up the tab if he wins his lawsuit or should i say the tax payers if not he will have a great view for years.;:;badidea just one con job.

I am not familiar with this. Do they do soil testing and hydrological mapping to avoid ground water contamination over a wide area?

They drill down to the Dakota formation around 5000’ deep
