-— The production from the field is going to push it all back out.

-— Where hydrofrac water is left in the ground is the disposal of the water along with produced water during production. It is injected into deep formation, but this is not an injection into a producing well. -—

I thought the fracking water was held in a retention area and later reclaimed. Is injecting it into an inactive well the normal means of disposal?
