Yeah somewhere below the surface somebody’s plug failed. Or they did a shitty job on location of the injection zone.


They were never set correctly to begin with and the RRC allowed operators to pencil whip forms. Didn’t start really enforcing the rules until recently. Try even filling an H5 today on a well over 10 years old and it’s kicked back for missing data that should have been collected and policed.

There’s not enough accountability for the previous operators of record, the individuals that signed off, or the government cronies that allowed it to happen.

TLDR: the RRC leadership has always sucked and gotten rich and now actually is being forced to do their damn jobs.

This. But, also failure of the plugs or cement used.
