1.  Drilling and Testing of Wells
1.1 General Information
Here the summary of drilling wells is given. The main purposes of drilling of test wells are:
•    To understand Aquifer productivity and water quality variations in depth and lateral
•     To acquire subsurface data to calibrate the geophysical investigation results
•    To Obtain Aquifer parameters
The test wells are drilled  at the major fan  areas in  the study  area,  moreover the depth  of the wells were shallow to deep depending on the depth for Fresh and Salt water interface and the fan thickness .  The minimum depth  of test well is 92m ( DTW-3) which  is drilled  north  east of Gehertu fan close to the salt plain and the maximum depth of test well is 250m ( DTW-7 and DTW-9 ) drilled on Saba fan area.
The test well drilling in the proposed nine sites of the project area was started in Feb. 2012 two months later after the signing of the Contract i.e Dec. 2012. The main Contractor is Ethiopotash BV Ethiopian  branch  and  the Sub  Contractor is Raja Raja  Mineral and Exploration Techniques Pic. The contractual time for the drilling was six months however due to various problems related to casing supply and access roads the contract was extended for two months where a total of ten  test boreholes (one extra test borehole added  with  amendments) are completed successfully.
The distribution  of test boreholes was planned  to  test the potential of the major fan  areas of Asabuye , Musley, Gehertu (North Musley) and Bekerti ( South Musley) and Saba fan areas. Accordingly  one test borehole is drilled  in  Asabuye fan  ( DTW-4) ,  three test boreholes in Gehertu fans i.e DTW- 1, DTW-2 and DTW-3, Two test boreholes in Musley fan ( DTW-5 and DTW-10 ) ,One test borehole in Bekerti fan ( DTW-6) and three test wells in Saba fan area ( DTW-7, DTW-8 and DTW-9).
The drilling and construction of all the test boreholes is completed successfully, out of these around six boreholes in Musley , Asabuye and Gehertu fan ( DTW-1, DTW-2,DTW-3.DTW-4 DTW-5  and  DTW-10  are pump  tested  with  constant discharge for 48  hours duration.  The remaining three test wells in Saba area (DTW-7, DTW-8 and DTW-9) and One test well in

Bekerti or South Musley fan( DTW-6) are not pump tested due to small yield 2-3 1/s as seen from pre test and this is not possible to be tested constantly with the available high yield pump ( 20-50 
1/s) which is stated in the specification.
The distribution of mapping wells in the project area is shown in fig 1.1 and the summary of
mapping well data is given in table 1.1 and table 1.2

1.2.     Drilling and Logging
1.2.1. Drilling
According  to  the contract agreement,  the target depth  intended  to  drill is 250  m on  average.  The drilling  work  is totally  carried  out with  Mud  Rotary  system.  The drilling  work  is designed  to  drill up  to  150m depth  with  14  *’ diameter and  below this with  10” diameter for the installation  of
10” and 6” diam. PVC casings.
The major drilling  problems encountered  so  far are Bit damaged  repeatedly  due to  very  hard boulders of basement rocks transported  from western  escarpment areas and  casing  stacking  in most of the test wells which  was solved  by  continuous riming  especially  for the deep  boreholes in  North  Musley  (DTW-4) due to  hard  meta-sedimentary  rocks and  intercalated  thick  clay  in Saba and Bekerti fan (DTW-7 and DTW-6) test boreholes.
According to the contract, the drilling work was agreed to be carried out with 20” drilling bit for t
the upper six meter soft formation where 17 “steel surface casing is installed and the drilling is

continued  with  14  “bit up  to  150m with  the installation  of 10” casing  and  again  drilling  is continued  to  the bottom with  10  “ bit where 6  “ casing  is installed  .  For some boreholes which are drilled  up  to  200-250m depth,  this design  is followed  (DTW-2,  DTW-4,  DTW-7,  DTW-9) . However there are also  some local hydro-geological conditions where the drilling  with  large diameter is continued below 150m for some depth like DTW-4, DTW-2, DTW-6 and DTW-8.
In  the center of the alluvial fan  area,  the drilling  has encountered  coarse gravel and  sand formation  up  to  160m (DTW-1  and  DTW-2  in  Gehertu  fan) with  the intercalation  of clay  at different depth,  but below 160  or 170  meter the drilling  has encountered  basement rocks of Meta sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks.
1.2.2.   Lithologic and Borehole Geophysical Logging
Rock  cuttings were collected  at 2m interval and  where there were lithologic variations during drilling  in  all test wells.  Rock  cuttings and  sediments were described  properly  and  water bearing zones were identified.  Prior to  casing  installation,  geophysical borehole loggings like resistivity  , natural gamma ,  porosity,  conductivity  ,  caliper,  and  temperature loggings were conducted  to identify  the water-bearing  formation  and  lithologic unit variations through  geophysical signature

so  as  to  place  the  screen  in  appropriate  position  where  adequate  water  can  pass  through  it  and  to characterize different formations.
1.2.3.    Casing installation
Permanent casings PVC and  water level observation  pipes were installed  at the completion  of drilling.  As per the design  10  “ PVC casings were installed  up  to  150m and  6  “ PVC casings up to  250m for test boreholes like DTW-7  and  DTW-9.  For some test holes Like DTW-4,  DTW-2, DTW-6  and  DTW-8  installation  of 10  “ PVC casing  was continued  below 150m depth  depending on  the prevailing  hydro  geologic condition.  On  the other hand  drilling  was stopped  before the target depth to avoid salt intrusion from lower beds in some test holes like DTW-1, DTW-3 ,
DTW-5 and DTW-10
1.2.4.    Gravel Packing and Well Completion
For  all  completed  wells,  the  annular  spaces  were  packed  with  properly  washed  and  rounded  river gravel of 6-9 mm size.
1.2.5.    Pumping Test
Prior to the commencement of step draw down test, provision tests were conducted at least for 1 -
2hrs to estimate the discharge rate for step and constant rate pumping tests. 
■ it • • •
To  evaluate well efficiency  and  to  determine the discharge rate for the constant test,  step  draw down  tests were conducted  only  for DTW-4  since the draw down  is minimum for the other tested boreholes.
Constant rate pumping  tests were conducted  for the completed  test wells to  know the aquifer hydraulic parameters of the mapping  wells.  Submersible pump  with  maximum discharge capacity  of 50  1/s were used  to  conduct the tests.  The constant pumping  test was 48  hrs.The discharge obtained  from the pumping  test ranges from 5  1/s - 10  1/s ( for DTW-2  ,  DTW-4  and DTW- 5  ) to  more than  50  1/s for DTW-1  DTW-3  and  DTW-10  test holes in  Musley  and  Gehertu fan  areas with  minimum draw down.  This indicates that the wells can  yields more than  this yields if higher pumps were used.

2.1.5.1 Geological Logging
In  the whole course of drilling,  drill cuttings were collected  at 2  meters fixed  interval to  describe both  the lithology  of formation  samples penetrated  by  the borehole and  the stratigraphical succession. Samples were described properly and water bearing zones were identified.
For the purpose of litho  logical logging,  formation  samples that were collected  and  provided  at every  two  linear meters interval were described  using  the aid  of hand  lens.  In  general the stratigraphic sequences encountered  throughout the penetrated  depth  of the well are fine sand, gravel and coarse sand. The possible water bearing formations are gravel and coarse sand.

2.1.6  Casing and Observation Pipe installation and Gravel Packing
Casing  arrangement is done after considering  geophysical logging,  formation  samples (drill cutting), penetration rate in order to identify the water bearing formations and arrange the screen and blind production casings so as to set the screen casings against the aquifer portion of the well. Since the proper positioning of the screen and blind casings ensure the free passage of the groundwater flow from the aquifer to  the well and  thereby  maximize the amount of water withdrawn from the well, special care was given to the appropriate placing of the screens.
Then after, well is cleaned to make ready for installation of production casing. Installation of 10" inches PVC production casing with screen setting pursuant to the water bearing formation w'ere performed.

2.1.11  Cementing and Grouting
Grouting was done both between the wall of the borehole and the surface casing and in between the surface casing and production. The cement grout provide a seal which is readily placed and develop the strength to contain load, hold casing firmly in position and the most important thing is to prevent the seepage of surface water in to the well
The grouting  between  the surface casing  and  wall of the borehole is done just after the installation of six maters steel surface casing The grouting between the production casing and the conductor casing is done after the gravei packing and development which is six meter below the surface and half a meter above the surface
2.1.12  Well Head Construction
The final part of the well construction is the well head Well head was done according to the specified Design as it out line in the contract agreement in actual fact to protect the stick up above ground  from breakage and  movement during  pump  installation  including  capping  of rectangle is constructed. But most importantly to avoid the rescue of pollution and for sanitary purpose with special care is taken for the mixing ratio and quality of sand, water, cement and aggregate used for the construction of the well head with lm x lm x 0 5m dimension

2.1.13   Borehole camera inspection
Borehole camera inspection is done to have visual record of the well for the future rehabilitation and pump installation problem. This borehole camera is designed also to have a partial side view. The borehole camera inspection  was performed  by  downward  looking  accompanied  by  an appropriate light source. The recorded data of the inspected wells is submitted on with DVD tape by the contractor with this report.
2.1.14    Well capping
After the completion of well head construction, we sealed and capped the well with 6mm thick steel plate of the same diameter as the conductor casing  was welded  as security  measure to assure that no foreign object fall into the well before the well starts giving the intended service. On the middle of well cap half inch threaded opening is prepared to send in the dip mater for checking the water table anytime. The treaded opening is closed with threaded half inch cap.
2.1.15   Conclusion and Recommendation
After diligent examination of the drilling cutting and result of constant test, the main aquifer in the area is coarser sand and gravel. The whole construction works i.e. the drilling, developing installation of casing and sanitary protections had been performed.
The  screen  production  casings  are  set  to  be  against  aquifer  portion  of  the  well.  This  was confirmed from examination of the drill cuttings and electrical logging.
According to the agreement, the proposed total drilling target depth is 250m the intended to drill with in ±20% was 300m; however, the well is drilled up to a depth of 188m. Again from careful examination  of casing  arrangement and  total draw down  observed  in  the well and  aquifer position we recommended to set the pump position to be around at the depth of 100m.
As the laboratory chemical analysis show the water is grouped under the fresh water only the problem is sulphate (So4) concentration which is not advised to drink it without treatment but for solution mining to extract minerals will not be problem. So as to see from all perspective the Gehartu fan looks good with further investigation it can give additional wells for the solution mining process.

2.2.5 Logging, EC and Temperature
2.2.S.1   Geological Logging
In the whole course of drilling, drill cuttings were collected at 2 meters fixed interval to describe both  the lithology  of formation  samples penetrated  by  the borehole and  the stratigraphical succession. Samples were described properly and water bearing zones were identified.
For the purpose of litho logical logging, formation samples that were collected and provided at every  two  linear meters interval were described  using  the aid  of hand  lens.  In  general the stratigraphic sequences encountered throughout the penetrated depth of the well are fine sand, gravel,  coarser sand  and  limestone.  The possible water bearing  formations are gravel,  coarser sand and weathered limestone

2.2.6 Casing and Observation Pipe installation and Gravel Packing
Casing  arrangement is done after considering  geophysical logging,  formation  samples (drill cutting), penetration rate in order to identify the water bearing formations and arrange the screen and blind production casings so as to set the screen casings against the aquifer portion of the well. Since the proper positioning of the screen and blind casings ensure the free passage of the groundwater flow from the aquifer to  the well and  thereby  maximize the amount of water withdrawn from the well, special care was given to the appropriate placing of the screens.
Then after, well is cleaned to make ready for installation of production casing. Installations of 10” and 6” PVC production casing with screen setting pursuant to the water bearing formation were performed.

2.2.8    Gravel packing
After the completion of casing installation the annular space between the wall of the well and the casing  packed  with  14.3m3gravel.  The gravel is clean,  well rounded  grains of uniform size which ranges between 4-6mm and they are free from soluble materials.
2.2.9   Well Development
To remove the mud cake or drilling fluid film that coats the borehole and to increase the natural porosity and permeability of the formation in the vicinity of the borehole, well development is carried out. The well developed by air compressor, for 14.35 hours until the water become clean and silt/sand free.

2.2.11  Cementing and Grouting
Grouting was done both between the wall of the borehole and the surface casing and in between the surface casing and production The cement grout provide a seal which is readily placed and develop the strength to contain load, hold casing firmly in position and the most important thing is to prevent the seepage of surface water in to the well
The grouting  between  the surface casing  and  wall of the borehole is done just after the installation of six maters steel surface casing The grouting between the production casing and the conductor casing is done after the gravel packing and development which is six meter below the surface and half a meter above the surface

2.2.12 Well Head Construction
The final part of the well construction is the well head. Well head was done according to the specified Design as it out line in the contract agreement in actual fact to protect the stick up above ground  from breakage and  movement during  pump  installation  including  capping  of rectangle is constructed. But most importantly to avoid the rescue of pollution and for sanitary purpose with special care is taken for the mixing ratio and quality of sand; water, cement and aggregate used for the construction of the well head with lm x lm x 0.5m dimension.
2.2.13  Borehole camera inspection
Borehole camera inspection is done to have visual record of the well for the future rehabilitation and pump installation problem. This borehole camera is designed also to have a partial side view. The borehole camera inspection  was performed  by  downward  looking  accompanied  by  an appropriate light source. The recorded data of the inspected wells is submitted on with DVD tape by the contractor with this report.
2.2.14  Well Capping
After the completion of well head construction, we sealed and capped the well with 6mm thick steel plate of the same diameter as the conductor casing was welded as security measure to assure that no foreign object fall into the well before the well starts giving the intended service. On the middle of well cap half inch threaded opening is prepared to send in the dip mater for checking the water table anytime. The treaded opening is closed with threaded half inch cap.
2.2.15  Conclusion and Recommendation
After diligent examination of the drilling cutting and result of constant test, the main aquifer in the area is coarser sand and gravel. The whole construction works i.e. the drilling, developing installation of casing and sanitary protections had been performed.
The  screen  production  casings  are  set  to  be  against  aquifer  portion  of  the  well.  This  was confirmed from examination of the drill cuttings and electrical logging.
Final Report: Well Accomplishment Repon of Musley fans and adjacent areas (Dallol), 2014
80Water Works Design and Supervision Enterprise
According to the agreement, the proposed total drilling target depth is 250m the intended to drill with in ±20% was 300m; however, the well is drilled up to a depth of 223m. Again from careful examination  of casing  arrangement and  total draw down  observed  in  the well and  aquifer position we recommended to set the pump position to be around at the depth of 155m.
In  general,  the value of the aquifer parameters shows that the area has high  ground  water potential; the chemical quality of the well water is Brackish this is not recommend for any other than mineral extraction and oil and gas production. So this well will only be used for solution mining which is planned for the future in the area and further detail study has to be done to delineate which part of Gehertu fan is saline

2.3.5.1 Geological Logging
In the whole course of drilling, drill cuttings were collected at 2 meters fixed interval to describe both  the lithology  of formation  samples penetrated  by  the borehole and  the stratigraphical succession. Samples were described properly and water bearing zones were identified.
For the purpose of litho logical logging, formation samples that were collected and provided at every  two  linear meters interval were described  using  the aid  of hand  lens.  In  general the stratigraphic sequences encountered throughout the penetrated depth of the well are fine sand, gravel, coarser sand and boulders. The possible water bearing formations are gravel and coarser sand

2.3.6   Casing and Observation Pipe installation and Gravel Packing
Casing  arrangement is done after considering  geophysical logging,  formation  samples (drill cutting), penetration rate in order to identify the water bearing formations and arrange the screen and blind production casings so as to set the screen casings against the aquifer portion of the well. Since the proper positioning of the screen and blind casings ensure the free passage of the groundwater flow from the aquifer to  the well and  thereby  maximize the amount of water withdrawn from the well, special care was given to the appropriate placing of the screens.
Then after, well is cleaned to make ready for installation of production casing. Installations of 10” PVC production casing with screen setting pursuant to the water bearing formation were performed.

2.3.11  Cementing and Grouting
Grouting was done both between the wall of the borehole and the surface casing and in between the surface casing and production. The cement grout provide a seal which is readily placed and develop the strength to contain load, hold casing firmly in position and the most important thing is to prevent the seepage of surface water in to the well
The grouting between the surface casing and wall of the borehole is done just after the installation of six maters steel surface casing The grouting between the production casing and the conductor casing is done after the gravel packing and development which is six meter below the surface and half a meter above the surface

2.3.12 Well Head Construction
The final part of the well construction is the well head. Well head was done according to the specified Design as it out line in the contract agreement in actual fact to protect the stick up above ground from breakage and movement during pump installation including capping of rectangle is constructed. But most importantly to avoid the rescue of pollution and for sanitary purpose with special care is taken for the mixing ratio and quality of sand; water, cement and aggregate used for the construction of the well head with Im x lm x 0.5m dimension.
2.3.13  Borehole camera inspection
Borehole camera inspection is done to have visual record of the well for the future rehabilitation and pump installation problem. This borehole camera is designed also to have a partial side view The borehole camera inspection  was performed  by  downward  looking  accompanied  by  an  appropriate light source.  The recorded  data of the inspected  wells is submitted  on  with  DVD tape by  the contractor with this report.
2.3.14  Well Capping
After the completion of well head construction, we sealed and capped the well with 6mm thick steel
plate of the same diameter as the conductor casing was welded as security measure to assure that no foreign object fall into the well before the well starts giving the intended service. On the middle of
well cap half inch threaded opening is prepared to send in the dip mater for checking the water table anytime. The treaded opening is closed with threaded half inch cap.
2.3.15  Conclusion and Recommendation
After diligent examination of the drilling cutting and result of constant test, the main aquifer in the area is coarser sand and gravel. The whole construction works i.e. the drilling, developing installation of casing and sanitary protections had been performed.
The screen production casings are set to be against aquifer portion of the well. This was confirmed from examination of the drill cuttings and electrical logging.
According to the agreement, the proposed total drilling target depth is 250m the intended to drill with in ±20% was 300m; however, the well is drilled up to a depth of 90m. Again from careful

examination of casing arrangement and total draw down observed in the well and aquifer position we recommended to set the pump position to be around at the depth of 55m.
In general, the value of the aquifer parameters shows that the area has high ground water potential; the chemical quality of the well water is saline this is not recommend for any other than mineral extraction and oil and gas production. So this well will only be used for solution mining which is planned for the future in the area and further detail study has to be done to delineate which pan of Gehertu fan is salinity.

2.4.5   Logging, EC and Temperature
2.4.5.1 Geological Logging
In the whole course of drilling, drill cuttings were collected at 2 meters fixed interval to describe both  the lithology  of formation  samples penetrated  by  the borehole and  the stratigraphical succession. Samples were described properly and water bearing zones were identified.
For the purpose of litho logical logging, formation samples that were collected and provided at every  two  linear meters interval were described  using  the aid  of hand  lens.  In  general the stratigraphic sequences encountered throughout the penetrated depth of the well are coarser sand, sandstone and  weathered  granite.  The possible water bearing  formations are sandstone and weathered granite

2.4.6 Casing and Observation Pipe installation and Gravel Packing
Casing  arrangement is done after considering  geophysical logging,  formation  samples (drill cutting), penetration rale in order to identify the water bearing formations and arrange the screen and blind production casings so as to set the screen casings against the aquifer portion of the well. Since the proper positioning of the screen and blind casings ensure the free passage of the groundwater flow from the aquifer to  the well and  thereby  maximize the amount of water withdrawn from the well, special care was given to the appropriate placing of the screens.
Then after, well is cleaned to make ready for installation of production casing. Installations of 10” and 6” PVC production casing with screen setting pursuant to the water bearing formation were performed.

2.4.12  Cementing and Grouting
Grouting  was done both  between  the wall of the borehole and  the surface casing  and  in  between the surface casing  and  production  The cement grout provide a seal which  is readily  placed  and develop  the strength  to  contain  load,  hold  casing  firmly  in  position  and  the most important thing is to prevent the seepage of surface water in to the well
The grouting  between  the surface casing  and  wall of the borehole is done just after the installation  of six  maters steel surface casing  The grouting  between  the production  casing  and the conductor casing  is done after the gravel packing  and  development which  is six  meter below the surface and half a meter above the surface

2.4.13 Well Head Construction
The final part of the well construction  is the well head.  Well head  was done according  to  the specified Design  as it out line in  the contract agreement in  actual fact to  protect the stick  up  above ground  from breakage and  movement during  pump  installation  including  capping  of rectangle is constructed.  But most importantly  to  avoid  the rescue of pollution  and  for sanitary  purpose with  special care is taken for the mixing  ratio  and  quality  of sand: water,  cement and  aggregate used  for the construction  of the well head with lm x lm x 0.5m dimension.
2.4.14  Borehole camera inspection
Borehole camera inspection  is done to  have visual record  of the well for the future rehabilitation  and pump  installation  problem.  This borehole camera is designed  also  to  have a partial side view.  The borehole camera inspection  was performed  by  downward  looking  accompanied  by  an  appropriate light source.  The recorded  data of the inspected  wells is submitted  on  with  DVD tape by  the contractor with this report.
2.4.15  Well capping
After the completion of well head construction, we sealed and capped the well with 6mm thick steel
plate of the same diameter as the conductor casing was welded as security measure to assure that no 
foreign object fall into the well before the well starts giving the intended service. On the middle of
well cap half inch threaded opening is prepared to send in the dip mater for checking the water table
anytime. The treaded opening is closed with threaded half inch cap.
2.4.16 Conclusion and Recommendation
After diligent examination  of the drilling  cutting  and  result of constant test,  the main  aquifer in  the area is coarser sand  and  gravel.  The whole construction  works i.e.  the drilling,  developing  installation of casing and sanitary protections had been performed.
The  screen  production  casings  are  set  to  be  against  aquifer  portion  of  the  well.  This  was  confirmed from examination of the drill cuttings and electrical logging.
According  to  the  agreement,  the  proposed  total  drilling  target  depth  is  250m  the  intended  to  drill  with in ±20% was 300m; however, the well is drilled up to a depth of 250m. Again from careful
Final Report: Well Accomplishment Report of Musley fans and adjacent areas (Dallol), 2014
147Water Works Design and Supervision Enterprise
examination of casing arrangement and total draw down observed in the well and aquifer p recommended to set the pump position to be around at the depth of 155m.
As the laboratory chemical analysis show the water is saline this is not recommend for any o mineral extraction and oil and gas production. So this well will only be used for solution min’ g which is planned for the future in the area. It also recommended using bigger pump to determine aquifer parameter because the one which we use is too small to make a drawdown.

2.5.5.1 Geological Logging
In the whole course of drilling, drill cuttings were collected at 2 meters fixed interval to describe both  the lithology  of formation  samples penetrated  by  the borehole and  the stratigraphical succession. Samples were described properly and water bearing zones were identified.
For the purpose of litho logical logging, formation samples that were collected and provided at every two linear meters interval were described using the aid of hand lens. In general the
stratigraphic sequences encountered throughout the penetrated depth of the well are fine sand, gravel, coarser sand and clay. The possible water bearing formations are gravel and coarser sand

2.5.6   Casing and Observation Pipe installation and Gravel Packing
Casing  arrangement is done after considering  geophysical logging,  formation  samples (drill cutting), penetration rate in order to identify the water bearing formations and arrange the screen and  blind  production  casings so  as to set the screen casings against the aquifer portion of the well. Since the proper positioning of the screen and blind casings ensure the free passage of the groundwater flow from the aquifer to  the well and  thereby  maximize the amount of water withdrawn from the well, special care was given to the appropriate placing of the screens. 
Then  after,  well is cleaned  to make ready for installation of production casing. Installations of 10” PVC production  casing  with  screen  setting  pursuant to  the water bearing  formation  were performed

2.5.13   Cementing and Grouting
Grouting was done both between the wall of the borehole and the surface casing and in between the surface casing and production The cement grout provide a seal which is readily placed and develop the strength to contain load, hold casing firmly in position and the most important thing is to prevent the seepage of surface water in to the well.
The grouting  between  the surface casing  and  wall of the borehole is done just after the installation of six maters steel surface casing The grouting between the production casing and the conductor casing is done after the gravel packing and development which is six meter below the surface and half a meter above the surface
2.5.14  Well Head Construction
The final part of the well construction is the well head. Well head was done according to the specified Design as it out line in the contract agreement in actual fact to protect the stick up above ground  from breakage and  movement during  pump  installation  including  capping  of rectangle is constructed But most importantly to avoid the rescue of pollution and for sanitary purpose with special care is taken for the mixing ratio and quality of sand, water, cement and aggregate used for the construction of the well head with 1 m x 1 m x 0 5m dimension
2.5.15  Borehole camera inspection
Borehole camera inspection is done to have visual record of the well for the future rehabilitation and pump installation problem. This borehole camera is designed also to have a partial side view
Final Report: Well Accomplishment Report of Musley fans and adjacent areas (Dallol), 2014
178Water Works Design and Supervision Enterprise
The borehole camera inspection  was performed  by  downward  looking  accompanied  by  an appropriate light source. The recorded data of the inspected wells is submitted on with DVD tape by the contractor with this report.
2.5.16   Well Capping
After the completion of well head construction, we sealed and capped the well with 6mm thick steel plate of the same diameter as the conductor casing  was welded  as security  measure to assure that no foreign object fall into the well before the well starts giving the intended service. On the middle of well cap half inch threaded opening is prepared to send in the dip mater for checking the water table anytime. The treaded opening is closed with threaded half inch cap.
2.5.17   Conclusion and Recommendation
After diligent examination of the drilling cutting and result of constant test, the main aquifer in the area is coarser sand and gravel. The whole construction works i.e. the drilling, developing installation of casing and sanitary protections had been performed.
The  screen  production  casings  are  set  to  be  against  aquifer  portion  of  the  well.  This  was confirmed from examination of the drill cuttings and electrical logging.
According to the agreement, the proposed total drilling target depth is 250m the intended to drill with in ±20% was 300m; however, the well is drilled up to a depth of 152m. Again from careful examination  of casing  arrangement and  total draw down  observed  in  the well and  aquifer position we recommended to set the pump position to be around at the depth of 130m.
As the laboratory chemical analysis show the water is good except the sample analysis result which is taken at the binging shows hardness and so it is recommended to identify why the hardness is not seen in the other samples.

2.6.5.1 Geological Logging
In the whole course of drilling, drill cuttings were collected at 2 meters fixed interval to describe
both  the  lithology  of  formation  samples  penetrated  by  the  borehole  and  the  stratigraphical
succession. Samples were described properly and water bearing zones were identified.
For the purpose of litho logical logging, formation samples that were collected and provided at
every  two  linear  meters  interval  were  described  using  the  aid  of  hand  lens.  In  general  the
stratigraphic sequences encountered throughout the penetrated depth of the well are coarser sand, 
clay and gravel. The possible water bearing formations are gravel

2.6.8    Casing and Observation Pipe installation and Gravel Packing
Casing  arrangement is done after considering  geophysical logging,  formation  samples (drill cutting),  penetration  rate in  order to  identify  the water bearing  formations and  arrange the screen and  blind  production  casings so  as to  set the screen  casings against the aquifer portion  of the well.  Since the proper positioning  of the screen  and  blind  casings ensure the free passage of the groundwater flow from the aquifer to  the well and  thereby  maximize the amount of water withdrawn  from the well,  special care was given  to  the appropriate placing  of the screens. 
Then  after,  well is cleaned  to  make ready  for installation  of production  casing.  Installations of 10” PVC production  casing  with  screen  setting  pursuant to  the water bearing  formation  were
performed

2.6.9  Gravel packing
After the completion  of casing  installation  the annular space between  the wall of the well and  the casing  packed  with  7m3gravel.  The gravel is clean,  well rounded  grains of uniform size which ranges between 4-6mm and they are free from soluble materials.
2.6.10   Well Development
To  remove the mud  cake or drilling  fluid  film that coats the borehole and  to  increase the natural porosity  and  permeability  of the formation  in  the vicinity  of the borehole,  well development is carried  out.  The well developed  by  air compressor,  for 21  hours until the water become clean  and silt/sand free.
2.6.11  Cementing and Grouting
Grouting  was done both  between  the wall of the borehole and  the surface casing  and  in  between the surface casing  and  production.  The cement grout provide a seal which  is readily  piaced  and develop  the strength  to  contain  load,  hold  casing  firmly  in  position  and  the most important thing is to prevent the seepage of surface water in to the well.
The grouting between the surface casing and wall of the borehole is done just after the
installation of six maters steel surface casing. The grouting between the production casing and 
the conductor casing is done after the gravel packing and development which is six meter below
the surface and half a meter above the surface.
2.6.12    Well Head Construction
The final part of the well construction  is the well head.  Well head  was done according  to  the specified  Design  as it out line in  the contract agreement in  actual fact to  protect the stick  up above ground  from breakage and  movement during  pump  installation  including  capping  of rectangle is constructed.  But most importantly  to  avoid  the rescue of pollution  and  for sanitary purpose with  special care is taken  for the mixing  ratio  and  quality  of sand; water,  cement and aggregate used for the construction of the well head with lm x lm x 0.5m dimension.

2.6.13   Borehole camera inspection
Borehole camera inspection  is done to  have visual record  of the well for the future rehabilitation and  pump  installation  problem.  This borehole camera is designed  also  to  have a partial side view. The borehole camera inspection  was performed  by  downward  looking  accompanied  by  an appropriate light source.  The recorded  data of the inspected  wells is submitted  on  with  DVD tape by the contractor with this report.
2.6.14   Well capping
After the completion  of well head  construction,  we sealed  and  capped  the well with  6mm thick steel plate of the same diameter as the conductor casing  was welded  as security  measure to assure that no  foreign  object fall into  the well before the well starts giving  the intended  service. On  the middle of well cap  half inch  threaded  opening  is prepared  to  send  in  the dip  mater for checking the water table anytime. The treaded opening is closed with threaded half inch cap.
2.6.15   Conclusion and Recommendation
After diligent examination of the drilling cutting and result of pre-luminary pumping test, the
area is highly weathered decomposed alluvial deposits and clay. The whole construction works
i.e. the drilling, developing installation of casing and sanitary protections had been performed. 
The screen production casings are set to be against aquifer portion of the well. This was
confirmed from examination of the drill cuttings and electrical logging.
According  to  the  agreement,  the  proposed  total  drilling  target  depth  is  250m  the  intended  to  drill with in ±20% was 300m, however, the well is drilled up to a depth of 160m.
During  preliminary  test the discharge was very  small and  creates fast drawdown  which  is impossible to  conduct pump  lest with  available higher pump  on  site to  give 201/s with  100m head according to the contract agreement specification.

2.7.6 Casing and Observation Pipe installation and Gravel Packing
Casing  arrangement is done after considering  geophysical logging,  formation  samples (drill cutting), penetration rate in order to identify the water bearing formations and arrange the screen and blind production casings so as to set the screen casings against the aquifer portion of the well. Since the proper positioning of the screen and blind casings ensure the free passage of the groundwater flow from the aquifer to  the well and  thereby  maximize the amount of water withdrawn from the well, special care was given to the appropriate placing of the screens. 
Then after, well is cleaned to make ready for installation of production casing. Installation of 10 inches PVC production casing with screen setting pursuant to the water bearing formation were performed.

2.7.7  Gravel packing
After the completion of casing installation the annular space between the wall of the well and the casing packed with 7m3gravel. The gravel is clean, well rounded grains of uniform size which ranges between 4-6mm and they are free from soluble materials.
2.7.8  Well Development
To remove the mud cake or drilling fluid film that coats the borehole and to increase the natural porosity and permeability of the formation in the vicinity of the borehole, well development is carried out. The well developed by air compressor, for 11 hours until the water become clean and silt/sand free.
9 Pumping Test
2.7.9.1 Preliminary Pumping Test
The preliminary pumping test is conducted for 2 hrs the yield of the well is 42.97L/S and the maximum drawdown is 7.65m.

2.7.11 Cementing and Grouting
Grouting was done both between the wall of the borehole and the surface casing and in between the surface casing and production The cement grout provide a seal which is readily placed and develop the strength to contain load, hold casing firmly in position and the most important thing is to prevent the seepage of surface water in to the well
The grouting  between  the surface casing  and  wall of the borehole is done just after the installation of six maters steel surface casing The grouting between the production casing and the conductor casing is done after the gravel packing and development which is six meter below the surface and half a meter above the surface
2.7.12 Well Head Construction
The final part of the well construction is the well head Well head was done according to the specified Design as it out line in the contract agreement in actual fact to protect the stick up above ground  from breakage and  movement during  pump  installation  including  capping  of rectangle is constructed But most importantly to avoid the rescue of pollution and for sanitary purpose with special care is taken for the mixing ratio and quality of sand, water, cement and aggregate used for the construction of the well head with lm x lm x 0 5m dimension.

2.7.13 Borehole camera inspection
Borehole camera inspection is done to have visual record of the well for the future rehabilitation and pump installation problem. This borehole camera is designed also to have a partial side view. The borehole camera inspection  was performed  by  downward  looking  accompanied  by  an appropriate light source. The recorded data of the inspected wells is submitted on with DVD tape by the contractor with this report.
2.7.14 Well Capping
After the completion of well head construction, we sealed and capped the well with 6mm thick steel plate of the same diameter as the conductor casing  was welded  as security  measure to assure that no foreign object fall into the well before the well starts giving the intended service. On the middle of well cap half inch threaded opening is prepared to send in the dip mater for checking the water table anytime. The treaded opening is closed with threaded half inch cap.
2.7.15 Conclusion and Recommendation
After diligent examination of the drilling cutting and result of constant test, the main aquifer in the area is coarser sand and gravel. The whole construction works i.e. the drilling, developing installation of casing and sanitary protections had been performed.
The  screen  production  casings  are  set  to  be  against  aquifer  portion  of  the  well.  This  was confirmed from examination of the drill cuttings and electrical logging.
According to the agreement, the proposed total drilling target depth is 250m the intended to drill with in ±20% was 300m; however, the well is drilled up to a depth of 130m. Again from careful examination  of casing  arrangement and  total draw down  observed  in  the well and  aquifer position we recommended to set the pump position to be around at the depth of 90m.
As the laboratory chemical analysis show the water is grouped under the hard water which is not advised  to  drink  it without treatment but for solution  mining  to  extract minerals will not be problem. So as to see from this test well this perspective (Muslay fan) can be potential fan on the area, with further investigation it can give potential wells for the solution mining process.

DTW-10-13	Musley fan	130	79.28	50	5190	Good quality

Key Findings

Geological Characteristics

The study area consists of alluvial fan deposits with coarse gravel and sand formations
Basement rocks (meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic) encountered below 160-170m depth
Water-bearing formations primarily consist of gravel and coarse sand

Water Quality

Water quality varies from fresh to brackish across different wells
Some wells show high sulphate content (exceeding WHO standards for drinking water)
Electrical Conductivity ranges from 1,107 μS/cm (DTW-01) to 56,400 μS/cm (DTW-03)

Aquifer Productivity

Highest yields observed in DTW-01 (44 l/s), DTW-03 (60 l/s), and DTW-10 (50 l/s)
Transmissivity values vary significantly from 5.48 m²/day to 5,190 m²/day
Wells in Gehertu and Musley fans show better productivity than other areas

Methodology

Drilling

Mud rotary drilling system used for all wells
Initial 6m drilled with 20" bit and 17" steel surface casing installed
Continued with 14¾" bit to 150-170m depth with 10" PVC casing
Final section drilled with 10" bit to target depth with 6" PVC casing

Data Collection

Lithologic logging at 2m intervals
Borehole geophysical logging (resistivity, natural gamma, porosity, conductivity, caliper, temperature)
Pumping tests (preliminary, constant rate, and recovery tests)
Water quality sampling and analysis

Conclusions and Recommendations

The Gehertu and Musley fan areas show good groundwater potential with high yields and relatively good water quality (except for sulphate content in some wells). These areas are recommended for further investigation and development for water supply purposes.

The water quality in some wells may require treatment (especially for sulphate reduction) if intended for drinking purposes, but is suitable for industrial and irrigation uses.
