The Department of Conservation’s Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources has ordered that all 114 injection wells be thoroughly tested for safety and competence before injection resumes into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage field. The Division developed a protocol of six tests in consultation with the Lawrence Livermore and Berkeley National Laboratories.
Test results are submitted by Southern California Gas, reviewed by Division staff, and then posted on an interactive map page, which will be updated frequently. Wells must pass all tests within one year or be permanently sealed (that is, plugged and abandoned).
Additional Aliso Canyon information – including biweekly reports Southern California Gas must file on its progress toward completing the safety review – can be found on the Department of Conservation Aliso Canyon page.
