CH7.1.pptx: ground water hydrolog of ethiymulugeta48
The annual amount of rain falls runoff is estimated around 122 billion m³ of water.
Groundwater resources are estimated around 36 billion m³.
In Ethiopia, some 80% to 90% of water resources are found in the basins of large rivers such as the Abay (Blue Nile), the Tekeze, the Baro Akobo and the Omo Gibe.
Well logs can be states as “a recording against depth of any of the characteristics of the rock formations traversed by a measuring apparatus in the well-bore.”
Introduction
Petrophysic of the rocks
It is the study of the physical and chemical properties of the rocks related to the pores and fluid distribution
Porosity, is ratio between volume of void to the total voids of the rock.
Permeability, is ability of a porous material to allow fluids to pass through it.
Electric, most of the sedimentary rocks don’t have conductivity.
Radiation, clay rocks have 40K, radiate alpha ray.
Hardness, it depends on the cementing material and thickness of the sediments.
WELL LOGGING
The systematic recording of rock properties and it’s fluid contents in wells being drilled or produced to obtain various petrophysical parameters and characteristics of down hole sequences (G.E Archie 1950).
The measurement versus depth or time, or both, of one or more physical properties in a well.
These methods are particularly good when surface outcrops are not available, but a direct sample of the rock is needed to be sure of the lithology.
A wide range of physical parameters can be measured.
In some cases, the measurements are not direct, it require interpretation by analogy or by correlating values between two or more logs run in the same hole.
Provide information on lithology, boundaries of formations and stratigraphic correlation.
Determine Porosity, Permeability, water, oil and gas saturation.
Reservoir modeling and Structural studies… etc.
Types of Well Logging
Logs can be classified into several types under different category
Permeability and lithology Logs
Gamma Ray log
Self Potential [SP] log
Caliber log
Porosity Logs
Density log
Sonic log
Neutron log
Electrical Logs
Resistivity Log

Reservoir Characterization from Abnormal Pressure in Parts of Eleme, Southea...Scientific Review SR
Pressure in Geophysics is mostly explained in terms of hydrostatics. It is a three dimensional stress
state in which the magnitude of stress is the same in all directions. The pressure of a fluid is said to be “abnormal
pressure” if it is greater or lower than normal. Normal pressure is regarded as the rate of increase of formation
density where the pore pressure remains hydrostatic. The determination of zones of abnormal pressure was done
using geophysical well log method in the Eleme area. Sonic log and density log formed the porosity log and
consequently the porosity data. The logs were interpreted and plotted against depth. The trends were analysed for
wells and abnormal pressure. Overpressure was determined in between particular depths. For the two wells used,
it is found between 2185m and 2785m for well A and 1805m to 2525m for well B. Abnornally high pressure
zones have density of formation greater than 1.07kg/cm

. They also have pressure gradients exceeding
hydrostatic pressure gradients of 0.433psi/ft to 0.435psi/ft for fresh and brackish water with less than 20000ppm
of salt and 0.465psi/ft for salt water with about 80000ppm salt content. The determined abnormal pressure can be
taken as a guide in the Eleme area of Nigeria when oil wells are to be dr illed
Sources of groundwater pollution
Landfills: filling of the land pits which causes leaching of chemicals.
Industrial spills and waste disposal: industrial dumping in open areas and rivers.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Introduction
Water is one of the mankind's most vital
resources.
In areas where surface water is not available,
Ground water constitutes significant part of
active fresh water resources of the world and is
dependable source for all the needs.
It is an important source of drinking water for
humankind.
It is an important renewable source.
3. Subsurface methods
The subsurface methods of groundwater exploration includes both
Test Drilling & Borehole Geophysical Logging techniques.
When compared to the surface methods, the subsurface methods
are very expensive.

5. Test drilling
drilling small diameter holes that furnish information on substrata in a vertical
line from the subsurface
:-useful in
(i) verifying other means of investigation
(ii) confirm groundwater conditions prior to well drilling
(iii) serving as observation wells for measuring groundwater levels
and for conducting pumping tests
If found fruitful, many times the test holes are redrilled or enlarged to form
pumping or production wells.
6. Geological log
constructed from the drill-cutting samples
collected at frequent intervals during the
drilling of a well. (samples are utilized for
laboratory determinations of their hydrologic
properties)
Furnishes a description of the geologic
character and the thickness of each stratum
encountered as a function of depth, thereby
enabling aquifers to be delineated.
Preparation of proper geologic map may be
difficult because of interference of drilling fluid
with fine particles, and lack of proper
knowledge to interpret the findings.
7. Drilling time log
A drilling-time log is a useful
supplement to test drilling.
It consists of an accurate record of the
time, in minutes and seconds, required
to drill each unit depth of the hole.
The technique is most practical with
hydraulic rotary drilling although it is
applicable to other methods as well.
8. Water level measurement
One of the most common measurements in groundwater investigations is the
determination of the depth to groundwater.
In both existing and new wells, such data are needed to define groundwater flow
directions, changes in water levels over time, and effects of pumping tests.
A simple and accurate method for obtaining water depth is lowering a steel tape
into a well. By adding chalk to the end of the tape, the length of submersion
becomes apparent, thus giving the distance from the top of the well to the water
surface.
A unique and convenient method for measuring water levels in deep wells is the
rock tech nique developed by Stewart. He determined empirically the time
required for a common 1.55-cm glass marble fall to the water surface plus the
time for the sound of the splash to return to ground surface. Measuring the
elapsed time by stop watch, the depth to water can be read directly from table
9.
10. Geophysical logging
is a set of borehole investigation methods that are based on special
logging tools.
Geophysical logging involves lowering sensing devices in a borehole
and recording a physical parameter that may be interpreted in
terms of formation characteristics; groundwater quantity, quality,
and movement; or physical structure of the borehole
It is doubtful if more than a few percent of the new water wells
drilled each year are logged by geophysical equipment.
The primary reason for this is cost. Most water wells are shallow,
small-diameter holes for domestic water supply; logging costs
would be relatively large and usually unnecessary.
But for deeper and more expensive wells, such as for municipal,
irrigation, or injection purposes, logging can be economically
justified in terms of improved well construction and performance.
11. A wide variety of logging techniques are available; Table lists the
types of information that can be obtained from various logging
techniques
12. Resistivity logging
Within an uncased well, current and potential electrodes can be
lowered to measure electric resistivities of the surrounding media
and to obtain a trace of their variation with depth.
The result is a resistivity (or electric) log. Such a log is affected by
fluid within a well, by well diameter, by the character of
surrounding strata, and by groundwater.
13. Spontaneous potential logging
The spontaneous potential method measures
natural electrical potentials found within the earth.
Measurements, usually in millivolts, are obtained
from a recording potentiometer connected to two
like electrodes. One electrode is lowered in an
uncased well and the other is connected to the
ground surface,.
as illustrated by electrodes M and N in Figure
measures differences in the voltages of an
electrode at the land surface and an electrode in
the borehole
14. Sp logging (conti)
Deflections of the SP curve occurs due to the development of a
liquid junction potential, i.e. potential difference across the junction
from mud filtrate to formation water.
If water in permeable bed is more saline than drilling mud, SP is
generally more-ve in the permeable bed than in the adjacent clay &
vice versa.
useful in determining water quality
The right hand boundary generally indicates impermeable beds
(e.g. clay, shale, and bedrock)
Left-hand boundary indicates sandand other permeable layers
15.
16. Radiation logging
also known as nuclear or radioactive logging
Generally two types:
(i) measures the natural radioactivity
(ii) detects radiation reflected from an artificial source
radiation Logs having application to groundwater are
1.Natural-gamma logging
2.Gamma-gamma logging
3.Neutron logging
These are promising but not widely used hydrogeologic tools. An important
advantage of these logs over most others is that they may be recorded in
either cased or open holes that are filled with any fluid.
17. Natural gamma logging
all rocks emit natural gamma radiation originating from unstable
isotopes of potassium, uranium, and thorium
Clayey formations (shale, clay) emit more rays than gravels and
sands.
Can be used to differentiate between sand, clay and gravel (this is
identifying lithology, the primary application)
18. Gamma gamma logging
Gamma rays from a source in the probe (cobalt-
60 or cesium-137) are scattered and diffused
through formation.
Part of the scattered rays re-enter the hole and
are remeasured.
The higher the bulk density of formation, the
smaller the number of gamma-gamma rays that
reach the detector.
Primary applications:
(i) identifying lithology
(ii) measurement of bulk density and porosity of
rocks.
19. Neutron logging
Useful in determining the porosity of formations
A fast neutron source is used to bombard the
rock
When any individual neutron collides with a
hydrogen ion (of a water molecule), some of the
neutron's energy is lost and it slows down.
A large number of slow neutrons, as recorded by
a slow neutron counter, indicates a large
number of fluid (i.e. high porosity)
Results are influenced by hole size. Therefore, in
large uncased holes, information on hole
diameter is required for proper interpretation.
20. Temperature logging
A vertical measurement of groundwater temperature in a well by a
resistance thermometer
Normally Temperature will increase according to geothermal gradients
(roughly 30C for each 100 m depth)
Departures from this normal gradient may provide information on
circulation (hydrologic Cycle) or geologic conditions in the well.
Abnormally cold water may indicate recharge from ground surface (in
deep well)
Abnormally warm water may indicate water of deep-seated origin.
Geothermal gradient is usually steeper in rocks with low permeability
21. Temperature logging(conti)
Applications:
(i) identify aquifers contributing water to a well.
(ii) Provide data on the source of water
(iii) identify rock types
(iv) calculate fluid viscosity and specific conductivity from fluid
resistivity logs
(v) distinguish moving and stagnant water
22. Caliper logging
Provides a record of average hole diameter of a borehole◆Hole
diameter will be equal to drilling bit when a hard sandstone is
traversed.
Diameter becomes larger for shales/clays as they become wet with
mud fluid, slough off and cave into the hole.
Applications:
(i) identification of lithology and stratigraphic correlation
(ii) Locating fractures and other rock openings
(iii) Correcting other logs for hole-diameter effects
23. Fluid velocity logging
Measurement of fluid movement
within a borehole constitutes a fluid-
velocity log.
Such data reveal strata contributing
water to a well, flow from one stratum
to another within a well, hydraulic
differences between aquifers
intersected by a well, and casing leaks.
25. Television logging
A convenient tool with increasing use is a television camera lowered in a
well.
Specially designed wide-angle cameras, typically less than 7 cm in
diameter,
are quipped with lights and provide continuous visual inspection of a
borehole;
with videotape a record of the interior can be preserved.
Among the variety of applications are locating changes in geologic strata,
pinpointing large pore spaces, inspecting the condition of the well casing
and screen, checking for debris in wells, locating zones of sand entrance,
and searching for lost drilling tools.
26. Acoustic lighting
Acoustic, or sonic, logging measures the velocity of sound through
the rock surrounding an uncased, fluid-filled hole.
Chief applications of the acoustic log include determining the depth
and thickness of porous zones, estimating porosity, identifying
fracture zones, and determining the bonding of cement between
the casing and the formation.
27. Casing logging
A casing-collar locator is a useful device for recording locations of
casing collars, perforations, and screens.
The instrument consists of a magnet wrapped with a coil of wire;
voltage fluctuations caused by changes in the mass of metal cutting
the lines of flux from the magnet are recorded to form the log.
