  • Patent number: 5896926
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method for sampling groundwater under in-situ condition state in reliable, efficient and economic manner without disturbing environment of formation water present in under-ground layer. There are provided a continuous water sampling process and a batch style water sampling process for sampling formation water by confirming the same environment as that of the groundwater in the under-ground layer. After drilling water has been removed by the continuous water sampling process, formation water is repeatedly sampled by the batch style water sampling process, and a downhole system equipped with the continuous water sampling process and the batch style water sampling process is designed in such structure that it is moved up and down in a casing pipe and inserted into or removed from a packer system in the hole.

  • Patent number: 4986120
    Abstract: A low-water-pressure-controlled hydrologic test using a measurement pipe containing an inner packer which is equipped with a water pressure gage at its tip is disclosed. Some water is poured into the measurement pipe in advance so as to diminish the pressure head difference between the in-pipe pressure and the pore water pressure of the rock concerned. The permeability coefficient is obtained by measuring changes in the recovered water level in terms of pressure changes. In the case of an aquiclude, the inner pressure is raised by expanding the inner packer, the permeability coefficient being obtained by detecting the changes in inner pressure. Thus, the method allows a permeability test to be conducted continuously at various depths. In addition, it helps to shorten the measurement time to a remarkable extent and enables the rock condition to be investigated without departing from the natural condition.
