A revised Program Management Plan was submitted in February following discussions with EPA on the efficacy of a Class VI permit application for this small scale injection. Modifications were made to the plan in order to begin the pilot CO₂-EOR injection in the Mississippian oil reservoir at Wellington Field. This change in order of injection will provide approximately one year for the application and review process for the Class VI Injection in the Arbuckle saline aquifer.

Well Drilling and Installation Plans will be completed early next quarter for all of the wells and boreholes including drilling and installation methods, the well-borehole designs (casing design, centralizer plan, cement design, etc.), method for determining perforation zones, contingencies for anticipated problems encountered during drilling such as loss circulation zones, completion and development plan. Additionally, the drilling and well installation plan will include a description of mud logging, wire line logging, coring, swabbing and laboratory analysis of samples, and any other testing that may be performed on the well-borehole.
