1.7gat/ft or 430 gallons. Combined water invemory in the casing and open hole is 1,950 gallons. The combined open and cased hole water inventory was purged 11 times during this pump test. A water quality sample and set of field measurements were taken near the end of the pump test. MWB-2 Wire-line measured depth to water level was 239.1 feet below the top of the wellhead nut. The above mentioned 16 gallon/inch tank was used to measure volumes produced during nitrogen gas lifts. The first purge event with a single 304 cubic foot (wR} bottle injected over an 8 minute period produced only 16 gallons about 30 minutes after nitrogen gas injection started. The second purge injected one 304 tuft bottle in 8 minutes. The approach of water to surface level was monitored by wire line. At 20 minutes after start of nitrogen injection, the water level was at 40 below surface but the rate of climb had slowed. A boost of 500 psi (delta) from a second 304 tuft bottle began water production. This purge event produced 210 gallons of water. A third purge event was a continuous addition of nitrogen gas until water flowed freely at the wellhead. Two fid1304 cuff bottles, plus a minor amount from a third bottle, were used. This purge event produced 350 gallons of water. The throe preceding purge events produced 576 gallons or 768 feet of casing volume. After allowing the well to recover for an hour, the static water level pressure was measured at 270 psi. 'This indicated the well water level was still 115 feet below normal. The forth event repeated the "continuous gas addition until water flow is achieved" method as outlined in the third event above. The same amount of gas produced the same 350 gallons or 470 feet of casing volume. The initial static water level pressure of 270 psi showed a submergence of 624 feet. This event produced 470 feet of the possible 624 feet, a 75% efficiency. An hour later, the static water pressure measured 273 psi. The fifth event continuously injected two 245 cult bottles. The purged water production was measured at 350 gallons or 470 feet of casing volume. Field water quality measurements and a water sample were collected during this event. Visually, water quality changed during this purge. The previous purge events this day provided more clean appearing water. This event produced dirty appearing water with numerous very small oily sheens appearing on the surface of the water. Sheens were individual and did not accumulate. A total of 1,300 gallons of water were produced from MWB-2 during the days purging events. This is 1,700 feet of casing and open hole volume. The well has 23 feet of open hole below 1,375 feet of casing. The well bore and open hole were purged 1.2 times. MWU-2 The initial incorrect static water pressure was 140 psi. This false reading appeared as nitrogen gas was released from the '/: inch pvc tubing inside 1.9" steel. The reading of gas released from the bottom of the 1.9" tubing should have been 190 psi or 447 feet of submergence. (629 feet of 1.9" steel tubing set 447 feet below nomad average water level)
