RSVP For This Event
There has never been a more critical time to design, operate, and maintain ground water production wells in the most cost efficient manner possible. This presentation will highlight the critical components of the well design process; material selection, formation sampling, gravel pack selection, slot size selection, and well development and how these processes can maximize the well’s production potential with minimal losses. In minimizing well losses, the well owner can operate the well with greater cost efficiency.
