Paper: Monitoring Produced and Injection Waters

The monitoring of injection, disposal, and produced waters involves complex preparation, studies, evaluations, and interpretations. This paper presents the objectives and requirements of an effective monitoring program. Those aspects of monitoring that most frequently result in misleading data are covered and the means to prevent such data and misinterpretations that are drawn there from. The presentation is made of over 50 categories of conditions that deserve careful observation and consideration in a continuous monitoring program.
