A database of EPA Underground Injection Control Class II injection wells in the Central and Eastern United States. The database contains injection data on more than 187,000 injection wells associated with oil and gas production in the Central and Eastern United States. This includes waste disposal injection wells and injection wells associated with enhanced oil recovery. We compiled this database to analyze the relationship between injection wells and earthquakes in the Central and Eastern United States.
