| Approaches to Optimizing Well Performance | |||
| As the demand for water increases and sources of new water become more difficult to obtain due to natural and regulatory constraints, the economic value of existing wells will increase. Optimizing the long-term performance and yield of a well result in an increase in both well value and revenue generated from water production. The key to maintaining peak well production is careful monitoring and regular rehabilitation. This session will highlight new and innovative approaches to maintaining well performance including monitoring strategies, well rehabilitation processes, and well field management processes. | |||
