Well development definition

Well development means the application of energy to a newly installed well to establish a good hydraulic connection between the well and the surrounding formation. During development, fine-grained formation material that may have infiltrated the sand pack and/or well during installation is removed, allowing water from the formation to enter the well without becoming turbid and unrepresentative of groundwater in the formation.

Well development means the process of removing fine material from the well to improve yield and water quality.

Well development means the removal of sands and drilling materials from the water bearing zones of any well to produce water that is free of visible sand and/or silt and increase its productivity.

Examples of Well development in a sentence

• Well development should be continued until 5 well volumes are removed or if the monitoring well purges dry before 5 well volumes are removed, development may be discontinued.

• Well development involves physical purging of each monitoring well by carefully lowering the bailer into the centre of the screened portion of the monitoring well and removing groundwater from the monitoring well.

• Well development shall be conducted on all pilot holes prior to optical borehole imaging and all monitoring wells until clear, sand-free water is obtained and field parameters stabilize in accordance with FDEP criteria.

• Well development should be carried out as mentioned in this section Sl. No 10.

• Well development shall be completed as specified in Section 14 of Chapter II, Part II of Bulletin 74-81.

More Definitions of Well development

Well development means the pumping of a well to accomplish the removal of scale or other fine materials from its sides.

Well development means the act of cleaning out the clay and silt introduced during the drilling process as well as the finer particles of the aquifer directly around the well screen prior to putting the well into service.

Well development means the procedures used to remove mud or fine material from the drilled borehole, to correct any damage to the aquifer that occurred during drilling a water well and to improve the water passageways into the well from the aquifer.

Well development means the act of repairing damage to the geologic formation from drilling procedures and increasing the porosity and permeability of the materials surrounding the intake portion of the well. It is accomplished by application of mechanical energy, chemicals, or both to (i) remove drilling fluids and formation damage caused by the well bore drilling and well completion processes; (ii) remove formation fines near the well bore to increase hydraulic conductivity and create a filter medium; (iii) establish optimal hydraulic contact between the well and the geologic formation (aquifer) supplying water; (iv) provide for an acceptable level of sand and turbidity; and (v) provide for an appropriate level of drawdown at the production pumping rate.

Well development means the general process to achieve sand-free water at the highest possible well capacity.

Well development means the general progess to aghieve sand-free water at the highest possible well gapagity.

Well development means the removal of sands and drilling materials from the water bearing zones of any well to produce water which is free of visible sand and/or silt and to verify well pumping capacity.
