Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for increasing the water discharge of water delivering drilled wells in case of the decrease of the water discharge with wells having been exploited for a longer period, furtheron in case of new wells having been deepened with mud, for restoring i.e. increasing the water permeability of the original rocks by reducing the well-resistance, by using a chemical treatment.
- the water discharge of the water delivering drilled wells depends in addition to the layer conditions on the mode of the well formation, the age of the well, the methods of water production and on the quality of water.
- Themode of well formation includes the structural solutions to be applied, e.g. the piping, the arrangement and construction of the filter, as well as the drilling methods and pumping with the purpose of cleaning being utmost important from the point of view of water discharge.
- the pumping serving for purification may decisively influence the quality of well formation, which can be characterized numerically by the wellresistance.
- the components of well-resistance a re the following: the dam effect, i.e.
- the changed resistance of the zone around the well the layer resistance, the filter resistance, the resistance resulting from the instrustation, the resistance-surplus of a more or less turbulent stream - compared to the linear stream - at higher flow velocities and at least the flow resistance of the piping in the well.
- the increase of the water discharge can be achieved by the considerable decrease of the dam effect - the more, by converting it into an effect with a different sign (achieving a lower resistance in the zone around the well, than the original one), by the reduction of the resistance resulting from incrustation and indirectly by the reduction of the resistance-surplus of the turbulent stream.
- detrimental effects of the mud can be eliminated by removing the mud increasing the layer resistance with a high efficiency from the infiltered zone and by increasing the original water permeability of the confining zone.
- Incrustation i.e. clogging is caused by the deposition of different compounds; said compounds contain mainly iron and calcium in form of carbonates, oxydes, hydroxydes, sulfates and silicates. Due to biological effects, e.g. as a consequence of the activity of iron- and manganese bacteria organic compounds may also deposit.
- the rate of incrustation is increasing in dependence of the age of the well, at the same time the mode of operation and the quality of water are also considerably influencing the rate of incrustation.
- the so-called “ochre-formation” is of the largest extent, accordingly, it is to be considered as the most dangerous phenomenon; in course of this process iron compounds, mainly ferric(III)hydroxyde are segregated.
- hydrochloric acid is highly damaging all the fittings made of iron.
- Improvement of wells with a reduced water discharge is mostly performed by using hydrochloric acid (Technical Directives of the Office of Water conserveancy, 136/4-73/4.2).
- the layer purification with hydrochloric acid is causing corrosional damages in the metal parts and in case of glassf ⁇ bre reinforced synthetic casing pipes the risk is extraordinarily high and may lead to the early ageing of the well.
- the advantageous effect of the weak acids may be explained probably by the fact that said acids dissolve far slower the carbonates and oxydes, than the hydrochloric acid, accordingly, they are penetrating far deeper into the zones confining the filter.
- the slower dissolution is accompanied by a less vigorous gas formation, as a consequence, the danger of layer collapse is also less.
- the weak acids having been used in course of the process according to the invention do not destruct the material of the filter and the pipes, the mechanical properties of the glassfibre-reinforced synthetic pipes are not deteriorated either.
- the treatment having the character of an alkaline reaction i.e. using the sodium hypochlorite and/or sodium bicarbonate solutions after the treatment with the acids is highly increasing the efficiency of the process according to the invention, in the majority of cases a productivity far excessing the original one could be achieved.
- Example 1 The well having been started in 1938 with an initial water discharge of 180 1/min (MALEV well II), with no yield at the start of the process, was subjected to a frad.it ⁇ onal treatment for 48 hours by using a Mammoth-pump and a compressor. As a result of the treatment a water discharge of 120 1/minute could be obtained. Thereafter, through the pipe penetrating to the filter concentrated acidic acid in a quantity of 1o kg was introduced Into the well; in the following operational phase, through the closed well-head, air pressure of 3 to 5 bar was produced for four hours by means of a compressor; after a pressure-free period lasting an hour, a pressure of 7 bar and of the duration of six hours was applied onto the well.
- MALEV well II initial water discharge of 180 1/min
- the concentrated aquaeous solution of 15 Kg tartaric acid was introduced through the pipe penetrating to the filter. After a dwelling period of 24 hours and compressing, flushing by means of a scavenging pump was performed, thereafter the solution of sodium bicarbonate (5 kg sodium bicarbonate have been diluted with 4o litres water) was introduced into the filter zone. After a dwelling period of six hours scavenging was performed. After the chemical treatment the water discharge of the well amounted to 1750 1/m ⁇ nute, being by 25 % higher, than the original yield.
