Estimation of hydraulic conductivity from borehole flowmeter tests considering head losses
Recent numerical studies have demonstrated that the conventional interpretation of the borehole flowmeter test (BFT) may lead to considerable errors in estimates of the horizontal hydraulic conductivity ðKrÞ due to neglect of head loss across the electromagnetic borehole flowmeter (EBF). Even in uniform aquifers, the conventional interpretation underestimates Kr at the base and overestimates Kr...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of subsurface characterization methods: application to a natural aquifer analogue
Information from an outcrop is used as an analogue of a natural heterogeneous aquifer in order to provide an exhaustive data set of hydraulic properties. Based on this data, two commonly used borehole based investigation methods are simulated numerically. For a scenario of sparse sampling of the aquifer, the process of regionalization of the borehole hydraulic conductivity values is simulated b...
متن کاملCross-borehole flowmeter tests for transient heads in heterogeneous aquifers.
Cross-borehole flowmeter tests have been proposed as an efficient method to investigate preferential flowpaths in heterogeneous aquifers, which is a major task in the characterization of fractured aquifers. Cross-borehole flowmeter tests are based on the idea that changing the pumping conditions in a given aquifer will modify the hydraulic head distribution in large-scale flowpaths, producing m...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Tracer Tests in Heterogeneous Aquifer
A large-scale, natural-gradient tracer test in a heterogeneous aquifer at a site near Columbus, Miss. is simulated using three-dimensional (3D) hydraulic conductivity distributions derived from the borehole flowmeter test data. The simulated plume is more sensitive to the way the hydraulic conductivity field is interpolated from the measured data than it is to the dispersivity value. The transp...

"Three-dimensional Bayesian geostatistical aquifer characterization at the Hanford 300 Area using tracer test data" (2012). US Department of Energy Publications. Paper 309. [1] Tracer tests performed under natural or forced gradient flow conditions can provide useful information for characterizing subsurface properties, through monitoring, modeling, and interpretation of the tracer plume migrat...
