Wells
A tube well is a type of water well in which
a long 100200mm (5 to 8inch) wide
stainless steel tube or pipe is bored into the
underground aquifer.
Phase II
Reaming,
Installation of material,
Final development.
Site Selection
Seismic refraction, Electrical resistivity
method
Commonly used wenner configuration and
Schlumberger configuration.
Wenner
Configuration
Trial Bore
In trial bore a simple well is drill at any
point in the survey area
Diameter 6-8
Type of drilling method depends on the
lithology of area.
Percussion and reverse rotary for soft rocks.
Most useful is straight rotary because;
We can perform well logging and air
compressor tests.
In percussion drilling we get samples from
particular depths to do sieve analysis and
well design.
For installation of well we have following
drilling technique
Advantages:
Rapid drilling rate
Convenience of electric logging
Disadvantages:
High equipment cost
More complex operation
Straight rotary drilling
Sub-surface Sampling
Samples from trial bore are analyzed to
recognize aquifer material.
Can also be determined on the basis of
performance of drilling equipment
Clayey material high performance.
Water bearing less performance.
Can also be determined from water losses
Can be due to pressure.
Some out dipping structure.
Well logging also known as borehole
logging is the practice of making a detailed
record (a well log) of the geologic formations
penetrated by a borehole.
Trimming:
simply trimming of the inner diameter of the well
is done to avoid any draw down also for the
proper installation of filter.
Designing
Casing
Lines shaft walls to prevent collapse or
contamination (impermeable)
Intake
The lower portion of casing and/or shaft bottom
allows water to enter
Wellhead
Provides base for pump and prevents
contamination
Final development
It means to run well continuously;
To observe the settlement of gravel
To get crystal clear water
Measure draw down (D.D)
Here design of well is checked and confirmed
Best design is the one in which Filter should be in
water table.
