Packer Applications

  • Obtain hydrologic profile of borehole.
  • Isolate a particular zone or lithology to obtain a discrete sample.
  • Obtain permeability information.
  • Chemical and nutrient injection for ground water remediation.
  • Monitor changes in contaminant concentration.
  • Permeability enhancement with hydrofracturing.
  • Control artesian flow.
  • Placement of treatment barriers for contaminant migration control.
  • Obtain accurate aquifer parameters for model design.

Packer string being installed in injection well. Packer string consisted of 3 packers, 3 pressure transducers; one located between the injection zone straddle packers, one located above the injection zone, and one located below the injection zone. The multiple transducers confirmed the delivery of the ORC solution to the desired screened interval.
