Workshop SM1.

Add a new angle to well drilling, or make it horizontal

Sunday, 8 September 2019

Presenters: Dan Ombalski, Anthony Doherty, Peter Storch, Craig Divine

Summary

Horizontal Remediation Wells provide a highly efficient way to cleanup soil and groundwater contamination. Since most contamination spreads more laterally than vertically, the geometry of horizontal wells allows greater amount communication with the zone of contamination. This can aid in helping many remediation techniques obtaining site cleanup faster. This workshop will introduce owners, consultants and regulators to the key aspects of horizontal well design so they will better understand how horizontal wells may be used at their sites.
