Interpretation of H-11B4 hydraulic tests and the H-11 multipad pumping test of the Culebra dolomite at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site
Drillstem tests, slug tests, a small-scale pumping test, and a large-scale pumping test of the Culebra Dolomite Member of the Rustler Formation were performed in 1988 at the H-11 hydropad at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site in southeastern New Mexico. The drillstem, slug, and small-scale pumping tests were conducted in well H-11b4 to evaluate well and aquifer properties in preparation for a tracer test. The large-scale pumping test, known as the H-11 multipad test, was performed by pumping well H-11b1 in the southern part of the WIPP site at a rate of six gpm for 63 days and monitoring drawdown and recovery responses in three other wells on the H-11 hydropad and at 11 observation wells within a three-mile radius. Responses were observed in 10 of these distant wells. The H-11 multipad pumping test complemented the H-3 and WIPP-13 multipad pumping tests conducted in the central and northern portions of the WIPP site in late 1985 and early 1987, respectively. 67 refs., 124 figs., 31 tabs.
