... As described in the draft project management plans, the tests at these wells can be expected to provide reliable information on feasibility at the specific locations selected for testing. However, in keeping with the principle of adaptive assessment, the CROGEE judges that the pilot projects should not be considered simply as demonstrations at particular sites.

... Some of these conditions include long and short open intervals of recharge wells, high and low injection pressures, homogeneous and heterogeneous aquifer properties within the storage zone, presence or absence of highly transmissive beds within the storage zone, greater and lesser contrasts in salinity between injected and native water, and Tong and short periods of storage prior to recovery. Tests designed to compare effects of short and long open borehole sections in the ASR wells would be particularly useful to improving understanding of factors important to ASR well design at the selected pilot facilities and, more generally, throughout the UFA and in other aquifers with significant vertical variations in hydraulic properties.

... Thus, construction of models for these local scale processes is likely to require substantial technical effort with a commensurate level of funding. Additional considerations While the pilot projects are likely to be most useful in assessing local scale feasibility issues, they can also contribute data to the assessment of the regional hydrogeologic framework and aquifer characteristics.
