This data set shows the locations of water disposal wells in California.
Water disposal wells are used to dispose of oil and gas waters (brines).  Water disposal operations are a necessary part of oil production in today's oil field practices. It follows that it is the goal of the operator to dispose of the maximum quantity of water in a single well as is compatible with the needs of protecting the environment and securing the maximum efficient recovery of crude oil.  The status of each well is indicated.  New wells are those that have been drilled and developed but are not yet producing or "active".
