Porosity The percentage of void spaces or holes in geologic
formation. The amount of connected pore spaces


Barite barium sulfate (BaSO4), a mineral used to increase the weight
of drilling fluid (mud); its specific gravity is 4.2


Air Rotary Drilling a method of rotary drilling that uses compressed air as the
circulating medium; compressed air at high uphole velocity
removes the cuttings


Surfactants Improve flushing of cuttings from bit. Used in air-based
drilling to produce foam during well drilling, also well
development to disaggregate clays


2.31 Unit of energy constant to overcome gravity. Head calculation
2.31 X 40psi = 92.4' of lift. 600' / 2.31 = 260psi

Well Development a procedure to facilitate the removal of fine solids and
materials from the water-bearing zone of a water well to
optimize production


Well Development Methods Chemical, Over pumping, Rawhiding (Washing and
backwashing), Mechanical Surging, Jetting, Air surging.


Over Pumping Well Development method; involves pumping well at a much
higher rate than it will be pumped during well evacuation or
sampling.


Rawhiding (washing and back washing) Well Development method, involves pumping water to the top
of the well then allowing it to flow back through the intake of
the pump, breaking up the bridge of sediments only around
the pump intake.
