Development of data management system for the assistance in conducting AOR in California. Quarterly report, January--March 1995

Project objectives are to provide the resources and capabilities to permit the State of California to conduct Area of Review (AOR) variance analyses on a statewide level, and includes: (1) the analysis and identification of areas that may qualify for AOR variances; (2) the correlation of information from various databases and other automated systems to conduct AORs in areas that do not qualify for variances; (3) the evaluation of the risk of pollution, during permitting and monitoring, using risk based data analysis; and (4) the conduct of spatial analyses of injection well data in conjunction with other geographically referenced information. The Division has identified the hardware and software equipment needed to implement the Risk Based Data Management System (RBDMS) and conduct AOR variances. A workshop to review the RBDMS was held on April 4, 1995 with Dan Arthur from CH2M Hill, Inc. Oil and gas industry representatives were invited to attend and were asked for their support by submitting digitized well information to populate the Division`s data base
