A wireline packer system was developed by the Borehole Research Group to investigate the subsurface geology and hydrogeology of the Palisades Sill beneath the LDEO campus.

Wireline Water Sampling:

Using the BRG designed wireline straddle packer system, discrete water samples have been taken in geochemical studies

Injection Testing & Seismic Monitoring

Liquids and gases have been injected in discrete intervals at pressures up to 800psi with intention of generating micro-seismic events. A simple downhole seismometer clamp was developed and deployed to “listen” for micro-seismic activity.
