DETERMINE: B. Specific yield of the soil and specific capacity of the well
A pumping test was made in a sand layer extending to a depth of 16m. The initial groundwater table was located 2m below the ground surface. Observation wells were sighted at distances 4m and 9.5m from the pumping well. Using a discharge of 0.4 cubic meters per hour, a steady level is attained at the pumping well. The measured drawdowns at the two observation wells are 2m and 0.25m respectively. Solve the hydraulic head 5m from the pumping well.
The wells shown below are in a leaky confined aquifer. The aquifer has a hydraulic conductivity of 30 ft/d, saturated thickness of 45.0 ft, and storage coefficient of 0.00080. The aquitard above has a thickness of 8.0 ft and vertical conductivity of 0.45 ft/d. Well A was turned on at noon Sunday with a flow rate of 150 gpm. Well B was turned on at noon Tuesday with a flow rate of 200 gpm. Find the total drawdown in ft at the observation well C at noon Thursday. 150 ft 350 ft 150 ft
A well is being drilled at a vertical depth per of 10,000 ft while circulating a 9.6-lbm/gal mud at a rate of 8.5 bbl/min when the well begins to flow. Twenty barrels of mud are gained in the pit over a 3-minute period before the pump is stopped and the blowout preventer are closed. After the pressures stabilized, an initial drillpipe pressure of 520 psig and an initial casing pressure of 920 psig are recorded. The annular capacity of the casing opposite the drillpipe is 12.9 ft/bbl. The annular capacity opposite the 900 ft of drill collars is 28.6 ft/bbl. Compute the density of the kick fluid. The total capacity of the drillstring is 130 bbl. And for a gain(kick fluid volume) of 40 bbls
