Hydrofracturing Well Drilling |
|
Hydrofracturing is an advanced well drilling technique that increases the yield of low production water wells in new or existing water wells. Often used as an economical alternative to drilling a new well for under-performing older wells, the hydrofracturing technique has been used in the US since the late 1980s and Manosh has been using it for nearly as long.
We install a packer or seal at a predetermined depth. After the packer is installed, a high volume of water is pumped into the well under extreme pressure. This procedure opens up and cleans out the fractures in the rock, allowing more water to flow through them into the well. In most cases it's a far more economical solution than drilling a new well.
