PACKER TESTING
Step-Wise Techniques and New Technologies
for Hydrogeologic Projects

Conceptually, packer testing is simple. However the design and execution for each site generally is unique which demands that packer testing is applied with consideration for some important site-specific conditions where a "one-size-fits-all" approach is not appropriate.

This online tutorial steps through the essential parts of packer testing applied to hydrogeologic projects. Starting with simple geologic conceptual models to progressing to design, and field strategies, this webinar presents both basic and detailed considerations to determine hydraulic conductivity and aquifer properties for hydrogeologic applications.

Common mistakes plague our industry. This webinar addresses these challenges with different strategies and technical solutions.

Technologies have changed too over the past few years. New packer designs and downhole configurations are allowing more sophisticated data that's tailored to site geology. Help yourself and your projects by creating efficiencies that reduce uncertainties coupled with collecting the sufficient information that is appropriate for your site.

You will learn to conduct meaningful packer tests and interpret the data. Understand different methods of analysis and how they apply to various equipment configurations and subsurface conditions.
