Well-Test Analysis Techniques Developed for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant

H005 Well-Test Analysis Techniques Developed for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant 1 The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is the U.S. Department of Energy’s deep underground repository for transuranic radioactive wastes produced by the U.S. defence complex. The repository has been receiving waste for disposal since March 1999. The WIPP repository has been excavated 655 m below ground surface in Permian halite beds in the Delaware Basin in southeastern New Mexico (Figure 1). The Delaware Basin is an active area for oil and gas exploration and development in the U.S. and over 1000 wells have been drilled within 10 km
