<br />""~. -.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Analysis of the aquifer test data will be by a combination of <br />standard interpretive techniques and mathematical modeling of <br />multilayer radial flows. Hydraulic conductivity of selected <br />intervals will then be correlated with core analysis results and <br />compared with geophysical log response in an effort to improve log <br />interpretation techniques. The resulting interpretation techniques <br />should have broad transfer value to other parts of the Denver basin. <br /> <br />TIME SCHEDULE <br /> <br />When drilling of the core hole is completed, geophysical logging <br />will indicate the suitability of the hole for reaming and casing. <br />If the hole is reamed and cased, the work must begin quickly to <br />avoid potential collapse of the core hole. With this option, the <br />observation well should be complete within 3 months of the end of <br />coring. If the core hole is not suitable for reaming or casing, a <br />new 8 inch diameter hole will be drilled nearby for completion as <br />the observation well. This observation well should be complete by <br />September 1987. Aquifer testing can then be performed and the data <br />analyzed for inclusion in a final report to be available by June <br />1988. <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />The results of this study are expected to have enough broad <br />scientific interest to warrant publication of several articles in <br />professional journals. Each article will be devoted to a specific <br />topic of research conducted in the study. The journal articles <br />will provide the principal means for dispersal of study results. <br />Possible topics of journal articles include: <br /> <br />I. Correlation of core specific yield and free water porosity as <br />determined by nuclear magnetic resonance logging. <br /> <br />2. Effects of aquifer nonhomogeneity as measured in borehole <br />geophysical logs on the ratio of lateral to vertical hydraulic <br />conductivity. <br /> <br />3. Correlation of hydraulic conductivity determined by core <br />analysis and aquifer testing in unfractured clastic sediments. <br /> <br />4. Effects of lateral continuity of bedding in sandstone/shale <br />aquifers on hydraulic conductivity. <br />
