Program description:
What are your first steps when designing a well—and why? Do you gravitate toward the time-honored approaches and techniques which could possibly have a weak scientific foundation? Or do you first consider techniques that have a strong scientific basis but have not yet earned a marker on the popularity scale. Just like each well is different, you may need to expand your well design thinking beyond a “one size fits all” approach. You will learn how to evaluate the science in contrast to practical application in various situations when determining the procedures and techniques you will employ.
