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.
