Shari Ring is a technical expert in Underground Injection Control (UIC). She has supported every regulatory initiative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s UIC Program for the past two decades, including rules for Class I, Class V, and Class VI injection wells. She contributed to significant analyses of injection technology including EPA’s Study for Congress on Risks Associated with Class I Injection Wells, Hydraulic Fracturing for Oil and Gas: Impacts from the Hydraulic Fracturing Water Cycle on Drinking Water Resources in the United States, and the Report of the Interagency Task Force on Carbon Capture and Storage. Her experience helps clients achieve extraordinary results in implementing injection technologies for geologic sequestration and hydraulic fracturing.
She is involved in every aspect of the regulatory development process, from performing technical research, preparing technical guidance, to evaluating UIC permit applications, to leading outreach and educational efforts. Her work has been delivered to leaders at all levels, including Congress, the Ground Water Protection Council, the American Geophysical Union, and the International Energy Agency Well Bore Integrity Network.
Shari holds a bachelor’s degree in earth sciences from Pennsylvania State University.
