Go for it!
George Robinson 04/27/99 04:14 PM To: Larry Campbell/ET&S/Enron@Enron cc: Butch Russell/ET&S/Enron@Enron Subject: NNG Gomez Water Disposal I began discussions regarding this issue with Sonny, an employee of Cliffwood Oil & Gas, operator of the Ft. Stockton Unit Water Station. This is the outfit that was taking our recovered groundwater. Sonny discussed this with Cliffwoods' reservoir engineers in Houston and they decided they did not want to accept this water regardless of permit status due to their concern that the relatively fresh water may cause calcium carbonate to precipitate in the disposal well perforations and plug up their well. Lee Cisneros of 4C Construction, the outfit hauling the recovered water, put me in touch with Kenneth McIntyre of Stockton Water Inc. Kenneth informed me that they would accept the water if permit condition would allow it. Kenneth said they would dispose of the water in one of two wells, their University 165 or RS Pershing Well#1. This afternoon I discussed the issue of disposal of recovered water with Doris at the TRC District 8 office. Doris looked up the permit for these two wells and informed me that they were permitted for produced water only. After further discussion of the situation she transferred my call Mark Henkhaus, District 8 Director. Mark said that normally this waste stream would go to an "oil and gas waste" disposal facility as you had pointed out in our meeting last week, but suggested an alternative. Mark suggested that I obtain a letter of no objection from the operator of the SWD disposal well and transmit the letter with a request for approval from his office to dispose of the recovered water in the SWD disposal well for a period not to exceed 12 months. He said he will issue an approval for such a request. I think this will be the most cost effective manner to manage recovered water over the next few months, particularly if recovery operations continue to proceed as favorably as they have to date and we can cease active remediation activities toward the latter part of this year. If you concur, I will obtain the letter from the disposal well operator and submit the request to the TRC. Thanks, George
