IntroductionWhen a person meets another Person. He asks, Do you speak English, Arabic or French.etc.? In Geology you have to forget the language!! This collections of slides are The language of geologist. #You_Will_Learn_Geologists_Language!!At recent days youve heard many advertisements by ground water companies wanting to hire you, so you should be knowing more and more about ground water wells.In this session we will introduce important topics about ground water Wells.Firstly you should be known ground water terminology to #Speak_The_Same_Language.

Ground Water Wells Definition: A water well is a hole, shaft, or excavation used for the purpose of extracting ground water from the subsurface.Types of Production ground water wells:1st Type: Artesian wells. 2nd Type: Flowing Artesian Wells.3rd Type: Water Table Wells.

Ground Water WellsWhats the difference between Artesian Well, Flowing Artesian Wells and Water Table Wells?

Note That: All flowing wells are artesian, but not all artesian wells are flowing wells.

Now we need to know How we can drill a well??? Lets Go to Know

Drilling Is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of circular cross-section in earth layers.The hole is drilled by simultaneously applying weight to the drill bit and rotating the bit.Before Starting Drilling You Need Data.

The driller can place the bit onto the bottom of the well and apply weight using the lifting system.

Why & where We Drill?To know The Sub-Surface (Rocks Structures Fossils - etc.).To Get The Black Gold (Oil Natural Gas) (Onshore & Offshore).To Get Under Ground Water (Onshore).Exploration of Minerals as (Gold Silver Iron - .etc.) (Onshore).

Now we need a Rig!!!!!

Rotary Drilling Rig Components We are Live and working day and night in location, so we need electricity source.To reach the TD we need Series of pipes connected together (Drill String).Raising and Lowering of the Drill string (Hoisting System).Drilling as we know is applying weight to the drill bit and rotating the Bit, So we need rotating source or rotating system.When we drill we need fluid to carrying the cutting from the bottom of hole to surface so we need circulation system.

The Well Life CycleDesign:Agree the well objectives, schedule, cost, order equipment, place contracts for the rig and services, prepare the Location.Construction: Drilling: The well is created by drilling a hole, isolating with casing and cementing job and repeating this process until reach TD. Wireline Logging: (Electric Logging and interpret this log).Design of Well: (End Point of Intermediate Casing and Design of Filters).Installing Filters: According to design of well.Washing & Development: wash the well by clear water then development using compressor and pump.Pump Test: (Step Pump Test Long Duration Pump Test Recovery Test).Commission: The well is handed over to operations and connected to the process facilities.

Drop Pin Input Latitude and Longitude of your location on GPS.Detect the locations of wells and roads. Then Prepare the site roads and wells locations.

Prepare the Location

Drilling Fluid The understanding of the uses of drilling fluid can make a drilling operation successful.Functions of Drilling Fluid:Remove the cuttings from the bottom of the hole and carry them to the surface.Cool and lubricate the drill string and bit.Control formation pressure.Seal permeable formations.Minimize settling of cuttings and weight material in suspension when circulation is temporarily stopped. Support and protect the walls of the hole.Facilitate cementing and completion.

Types of Drilling Fluid

This is the major type of mud system. It consists of a continuous liquid phase of water in which clay materials are suspended. A number of reactive and nonreactive solids are added to obtain special properties.

24

Mixing Mud

Properties of Drilling Fluid

Physical Properties (Mud Balance Test)

Measure of the hydrostatic pressure of the mud column.Density is reported also in pounds per gallon, specific gravity, and pounds per cubic foot.

27

Physical Properties (Marsh Funnel Viscosity Test)

Viscosity is a measure of the internal resistance of a drilling fluid. This internal resistance, or inertia, is a result of the attractions of molecules in a liquid, and is a measure of the combined effects of these attractions and the natural cohesion of suspended particles. The greater the internal resistance, the greater the viscosity.The Marsh Funnel is an instrument used to measure what is commonly called "Funnel Viscosity." The Marsh Funnel viscosity is reported as the number of seconds required for a given fluid to flow 1 quart of fluid through the calibrated orifice at the end of the funnel.

annular pressure n: pressure in an annular space.

30

CasingDefinition: Steel pipe placed in an oil, gas and Ground Water wells to prevent the wall of the hole from caving in, to prevent movement of fluids from one formation to another and to aid in well control.The Zones which need to seal off by Casing Pipe: (high-pressured zones, weak and fractured formations, unconsolidated formations and sloughing shales).

Consequently, wells are drilled and cased in several steps to seal off these troublesome zones and to allow drilling to the total depth. Different casing sizes are required for different depths, the five general casings used to complete a well are: (Conductor Casing, Surface casing, Intermediate casing and Production casing (Blank and Screen).

31

Conductor CasingThe outermost casing.The main purpose: Hold back the unconsolidated surface formations and prevent them from falling into the hole. The conductor pipe is cemented back to the surface. The conductor pipe size is from 16 - 20 in diameter.

On offshore platforms, conductor pipe is usually 20 in. in diameter and is cemented across its entire length. Generally. a 16-in. pipe is used in shallow wells and a 20-in. in deep wells. and it is either used to support subsequent casings and wellhead equipment or the pipe is cut off at the surface after setting the surface casingWhere shallow water or gas flow is expected, the conductor pipe is fitted with a diverter system above the flowline outlet. This device permits the diversion of drilling fluid or gas flow away from the rig in the event of a surface blowout. The conductor pipe is not shut-in in the event of fluid or gas flow, because it is not set in deep enough to provide any holding force. The conductor pipe, which varies in length from 40 to 500 ft. (12.192 to 152.4 m) onshore and up to 1,000 ft (304.8 m) offshore, is 7 to 20 in. in diameter.

32

Surface Casing (Pump House)The principal functions: Hold back unconsolidated shallow formations that can slough into the hole and cause problems. It is generally set in competent rocks, such as hard limestone or dolomite, so that it can hold any pressure that may be encountered between the surface casing seat and the next casing seat. Cemented back to the surface. Sizes of the surface casing vary from 7 to 16 in diameter. The Most Common Sizes is 11 3/4 and 13 3/8 in diameter.

Isolate the Surface water-bearing formations Because we need the Deep water-bearing formations. Setting depths of the surface casing vary from 200 to 900 m . On land. surface casing is usually cemented to the surface. For offshore wells, the cement column is frequently limited to the kickoff point.

33

Intermediate Casing Is set at a depth between the surface and production casings. The main reason for setting intermediate casing is to case off the formations that prevent the well from being drilled to the total depth. Troublesome zones encountered include those with abnormal formation pressures, lost circulation, unstable shales and salt sections. Intermediate casing varies in size from 7 to 11 3/8 in outside diameter. It is commonly cemented to top of overlap between intermediate casing and surface casing.

When abnormal formation pressures are present in a deep section of the well. intermediate casing is set to protect formations below the surface casing from the pressures created by the drilling fluid specific weight required to balance the abnormal pore pressure. Similarly, when normal pore pressures are found below sections having abnormal pore pressure, an additional intermediate casing may be set to allow for the use of more economical, lower specific weight, drilling fluids in the subsequent sections. After a troublesome lost circulation, unstable shale or salt section is penetrated, intermediate casing is required to prevent well problems while drilling below these sections. Longer cement columns are sometimes necessary to prevent casing buckling.

34

Production Casing (Filters)Filters (Screen and Blanks) may be Stainless Steel or PVC in type.Production casing is set through the prospective productive zones except in the case of open-hole wells. According to design of well using log interpretation and sample descriptions.Screen designed to set in front of production zones.Blanks designed to isolate troublesome zones such as unstable shale.Filters Common Size 6 5/8 and 8 5/8 in diameter.

Casing AccessoriesGuide Shoe (G.S).Float Collar (F.C).Plugs (Top Plug - Bottom Plug).Centralizers.Cement Baskets.Cementing Head.

Cement plugs consist of an aluminum body encased in molded rubber. Two plugs are usually contained in the cementing head to facilitate the operations.

36

Cement Mixing and Pumping Operations:

Setting Casing & Cementing JobOnce casing is set and circulation has been assured.The bottom plug is released, which is immediately followed by the cement. The top plug is released when all the cement has been pumped. It is dropped on top of the cement, followed by drilling mud, to displace the cement from the casing. When the bottom plug reaches the float collar, the diaphragm in the plug ruptures to permit the cement to proceed down the casing and up the annulus. This plug causes a complete shut-off when it reaches the float collar.Pumping is stopped as soon as there is a positive indication (pressure increase) that the top plug has reached the float collar.

The following procedures are conducted when completing a primary cement job. Once casing is set and circulation has been assured, is to pump a 10 to 15 barrel spacer ahead of the bottom plug, which is immediately followed by the cement. The spacer serves as a flushing agent and provides a spacer between the mud and cement and removal of wall cake and flushes the mud ahead of the cement, thereby lessening contamination.The top plug, which is solidly constructed, is released when all the cement has been pumped. It is dropped on top of the cement, followed by drilling mud, to displace the cement from the casing Cement plugs consist of an aluminum body encased in molded rubber. Two plugs are usually contained in the cementing head to facilitate the operations.

38

Circulating pressures while mixing and displacing from the casing to the annulus.

Record of the circulating pressures while mixing and displacing from the casing to the annulus. To ensure good cement circulation and drilling mud displacement, movement of the casing, either by reciprocation or rotation, may be continued throughout the pumping and displacement operations.

39

Cementing Job PurposeBonds the casing to the formation.Protects the producing formations. Helps in the control of blowouts from high-pressure zones. Seals off troublesome zones (i.e. lost circulation zones Unstable Shale).Forms a seal in the event of a kick during drilling.

Washing Using clear water (fresh water) and Liquid Soap.By injection of fresh water in the well by using pump.Then connect Air compressor to starting the 1st development stage.And we can add soup in stage of development using Air Compressor.

Groundwater Wells Development After the well Casing, well Screen, and gravel pack have been installed, the well is developed to clean the borehole and casing of drilling fluid and to properly settle the gravel pack around the well screen. Development Procedures: Adding Chemicals as (Sodium Hexameta Phosphate - HCl).Compressor Development.Pump Development.

Development Procedures: 1st Step Adding Chemicals as (Sodium Hexameta Phosphate):Adding 1 sack from Hexameta for 1 m^3 of water according to the volume of filters e.g. ( Volume of mud in filters = 8 m^3, So; No. of Hexameta Sacks equal 8 sacks added to 8 m^3 of water).Then still (24 hours) for complete reaction between Sodium Hexameta Phosphate and drilling mud in Aquifer and Gravel Pack.Applications/Functions:Can disperse mud, sediment and clay from the producing formation and gravel pack in the screened interval. Can reduce viscosity and gel strength of drilling fluids.Helps reduce development time.Helps increase well yield and capacity.

Development Procedures: 1st Step Adding Chemicals as (HCl):Acidize : to treat formations with acid for the purpose of increasing production.Acid Concentration: 10 %Add HCl to Water with percentage 1 m^3 HCl : 2 m^3 water.Pump this soln. in the well against the Filters.Then still (24 hours) for complete reaction between HCl and Lime Stone FM.Applications/Functions:Open fractures in limestone formations.Helps reduce development time.Helps increase well yield and capacity.

acid fracture v: to part or open fractures in limestone formations by using fluid under hydraulic pressure.

Development Procedures: 2nd Step Compressor Development:Run In Hole Compressor Pipe String to certain depth then turn on compressor for certain duration as (1 hr.) then turn off compressor for ( hr.) and repeat this step for several times until water be clear then reach to another depths and repeat the previous steps for each depths.Note the pressure of Compressor as (20/18) bar; 20 mean the reading of compressor pressure on Starting Compressor, while 18 mean the reading of compressor pressure after constancy.Note that: when the different between the two readings small the well will be have a small Draw Down because the good recharge. Applications/Functions:(A typical method for well development) to surge or jet air in and out of the well screen openings, This procedure may take several days or perhaps longer, depending on the size and depth of the well.

Development Procedures: 3rd Step Pump Development:Run In Hole Electrical or mechanical submersible pump, Then Starting Development by starting with small discharge then stop for several times until water be clear then progressively increasing the flow rate (Q) in intervals until reach the maximum discharge and reach clear water in each discharge.Applications/Functions:Clear water from residual mud and fine sand progressively.Increase well yield and capacity.

Water Level Probe (Deep Meter)

Pumping Test (Aquifer Test)Pumping test is about discharging water using an electrical or mechanical submersible pump, this test provides results that are more representative of aquifer characteristics including hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and specific capacity.There are three types of pumping tests:Step Draw Down Pumping Test.Long Duration (continuous) Pumping Test.Recovery Test.

Step Draw Down Pumping TestTo Provide certain parameters including the specific capacity, well loss and formation loss. The test shall be performed by progressively increasing the flow rate (Q) in intervals with measuring the drawdown along with time of each step.The pumping test data interpreted by using the Jacobi method by plotting specific drawdown (s/Q) versus flow rate (Q) to obtain well loss and formation loss parameters to calculate the specific capacity from the equation:s = B Q + C Q2Where:s: drawdown at any flow rate (m).B: Formation loss (hr/m2)C: Well loss (hr2/m5)Q: Flow rate (m3/hr)

Long Duration Pumping Test & Recovery TestAnother type of pumping test is long duration or continuous test where the flow rate is constant and test time from 12 to 24 hours.This test is followed by recovery test that measures the restoration of the static water level inside the well. Purpose of Both of these tests provide a full data to calculate aquifers Transmissivity (T).

The ability of the aquifer to transmit groundwater throughout its entire saturated thickness. Transmissivity is measured as the rate at which groundwater can flow through an aquifer section of unit width under a unit hydraulic gradient. Transmissivity can be determined from a pumping test using the time-drawdown data. T=b*K
