The Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s Oil and Gas Conservation Division has announced implementation of the largest volume reduction plan yet for oil and gas disposal wells in western Oklahoma.The plan covers 5,281 square miles and 245 disposal wells injecting wastewater into the Arbuckle formation, according to a media advisory issued Tuesday.In conjunction with the 191,000 barrel a day reduction plan begun in Fairview recently, OGCD director Tim Baker said the total volume cutback for the entire area will be more than half a million barrels a day, or about 40 percent. Earthquake activity in the region demands a regional response, Baker said in the release.
