R 324.807 Maximum injection pressure.
Cite as Mich. Admin. Code R 324.807
Rule 807. During Class II well injection operations, a permittee shall ensure that the
surface injection pressure does not exceed a pressure determined by the following equation:
Pm = (fpg - 0.433 sg)d where
Pm = surface injection pressure
fpg = fracture pressure gradient of the injection interval (if unknown, assume 0.800)
sg = specific gravity of the injection liquid (if unknown, assume 1.2)
d = depth of the top of the injection interval in feet (true vertical depth).
The value for fpg may be determined by an instantaneous shut-in pressure or data derived
from step rate testing. Other information to derive fpg values may be used with approval
of the supervisor or authorized representative of the supervisor.
