Level: General to Intermediate
Who should attend: Anyone in the geologic and allied science community who is involved in or oversees the planning, drilling, installation, and development of municipal or industrial production wells, or environmental extraction wells. This webinar should interest practicing geologists, hydrologists, engineers, project managers, municipal and site managers, consultants, regulatory managers and technical support staff. This webinar will be informative for anyone who deals with wells that produce water, no matter the stage in your career, or whether you work in the field or office.
Webinar Overview: Well development is critical for successful large diameter high flow municipal and industrial wells. This webinar will discuss ways to maximize well development to provide the best "wire to water" cost per 1000 gallons pumped (sold). Development techniques should change depending on the type of well drilled, i.e. screened vs. open hole wells. For screened wells, techniques will be explored to design build a screen to fit the geology, through sieve analysis, in order to achieve the and flow rate desired. The webinar will also address naturally developed versuss gravel pack and muni-pack screen options. Specific techniques discussed for open holes include decompressing/releasing techniques, airlifting/raw hiding, sandstone removal, blasting and bailing methods.
