IPT Well Solutions lands municipal Class I disposal well project in Colorado

IPT Well Solutions has been chosen to support a municipal Class I disposal well project in central Colorado, where the work will test deep-well injection as a long-term option for brine from municipal water treatment. The assignment adds to IPT’s push in Class I injection and could shape whether the project moves into design, permitting and construction.

Why it matters: - The project could give municipal water operators a long-term disposal option for brine generated by treatment operations. - A successful feasibility study could move the effort toward design, permitting, drilling and construction. - The work adds to the pool of Class I disposal options for managing difficult wastewater streams in Colorado.

What happened: - IPT Well Solutions was selected to provide subsurface engineering and technical support for a municipal Class I disposal well project in central Colorado. - The project will evaluate deep-well injection as a long-term brine management solution. - The announcement was made Sept. 22, 2026.

The details: - IPT’s scope includes geological evaluation and static modeling. - The company will also handle reservoir simulation and sensitivity analysis. - IPT will identify and evaluate underground sources of drinking water, or USDWs. - The work includes assessment of confining units and potential injection zones. - IPT will develop a preliminary drilling and completion cost estimate. - The initial work will establish the technical foundation for future project development. - If the project advances, the next phases could include detailed design, permitting, drilling and construction. - IPT has supported more than 300 Class I, II, III, V and VI injection well projects across the United States. - IPT’s experience spans geology, reservoir engineering, permitting, drilling and completions, and well operations.

Between the lines: - Municipal brine disposal projects are a fit for IPT’s core technical mix, especially when regulators and operators need a defensible path on subsurface risk. - The focus on USDWs and confining units signals that groundwater protection will be central to the feasibility decision. - David Mannon, CEO of IPT Well Solutions, said the project adds to the company’s growing municipal Class I disposal well portfolio and brings together reservoir, geology, drilling and regulatory expertise.

What's next: - IPT will complete the technical work needed to determine whether the project is viable. - The study results will help decide whether the project moves into permitting and engineering for a full buildout. - If advanced, the project would proceed to detailed design, drilling and construction planning.

The bottom line: - IPT is positioning itself as a specialist for municipal deep-well disposal projects, with this Colorado assignment serving as an early test of whether the concept can move from evaluation to execution.
