Information gleaned from a small-scale injection event, or pilot test, is critical to the injection design at large sites or where there are variable and/or problematic stratigraphic conditions.

Typically, a pilot test is designed to determine the following parameters:

  • The radius of influence from each injection point
  • The volume of injectate that can be injected into each injection point with surfacing
  • The maximum down-hole pressure that can be used without surfacing
  • The character fo the subsurface in terms of vertical/lateral permeability
  • The existence and character of access issues
  • The impact of utilities in establishing an injection grid
