Question

What are the main beneﬁts of well development?

Expert Solution

Step 1

After completion of the well and before final disinfection, well development (or borehole development) of drilled wells is a part of standard well drilling procedure.

Step 2

All drilling methods alter the hydraulic characteristics of forming materials in the borehole vicinity: fines and drilling fluid additives from the drilling process persist in the borehole and block the surrounding aquifer pores.
Development procedures are designed to restore or enhance these characteristics in order to optimize the well 's performance by removing the additives and fines, allowing the pack of gravel to settle and consolidate.
