Comprehensive Research and Regulatory Compliance For Texas Saltwater Disposal and Oil & Gas Operators. 

Our Story.

For over 15 years, Powers Energy Consulting has been providing regulatory relief and permitting services to our clients. Based in Austin, we have access to the Railroad Commission's headquarters and extensive collection of historical well records and production history. Our understanding of Railroad Commission regulations and our personal relationships with Commission staff help us expedite the paperwork process and keep our clients in compliance at all times.

Saltwater Disposal Permitting

Permitting a well for wastewater injection is one of the more painstaking tasks at the Railroad Commission. The requirements are many and the guidelines are ever-changing. At Powers Energy Consulting, we manage the entire process, including injection interval selection, landowner research, offset operator identification, groundwater determinations, areas of review research, well mapping, newspaper publications, and legal notice. We know the pitfalls to expect and can advise you on potential problems and solutions surrounding your project. Whether you are converting an old producing well to injection or planning a new drill, Powers Energy Consulting can prepare the application and see you through the entire administrative process.

The burden of compliance paperwork on saltwater disposals is large. The forms are time consuming, the due dates are obscure, and the rules can be confusing. Powers Energy Consulting offers a full-service Railroad Commission Compliance Package that we call Injection Protection. For a low monthly fee, we will monitor your numerous regulatory filing requirements and meet all necessary deadlines, keeping you in perfect standing with the State of Texas and avoiding costly fines and severances. We prepare and file Form P-18 monthly and Form H-10 annually. We also monitor your H-5 filing dates, giving you early notice of upcoming tests to avoid surprises. Included with this package is the annual renewal of Form P-5 and your Waste Hauler’s Permit if applicable. We also help coordinate with the district office in the event of a spill or field rules issue.
