INITIAL FLUID INJECTION CHARACTERISTICS PRE-CAMBRIAN INTERVAL PRESSURE INJECTION DISPOSAL WELL ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARSENAL, DENVER, COLORADO

Abstract

Predictions of injection performance may be made on zones of interest by conducting drill stem tests as drilling proceeds and without the necessity of completing the well. From the results of these tests, decisions may be made whether or not to conduct further tests. In the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Disposal well, every effort was extended to thoroughly examine promising zones whenever conditions were permissible. Such a zone exists in the Pre-Cambrian interval 11,975 to 12,045 feet wherein the fractured granite encountered caused considerable drilling fluid to be lost to the formation.
