Well Development by Hydro-Fracturing
Hydro-fracturing The single packer set is the most common method used. It is designed to be used in circumstances where a minimal improvement is needed. After a well has been drilled silt and deposits may start to build up in the water producing fractures causing a decrease in overall well yield.

Rose’s Well Drilling
A packer is lowered down the well to pre-
determined depth (Usually 20' below the casing
or a minimum of 60' whichever is deeper), and
water is injected into the well at high rate of
volume and pressure. This will remove the
obstruction and open up the water producing
fractures.
Now that the obstructions have been forced
out of the water producing fractures, more
water is able to flow into the well increasing the
overall yield of the well.
When maximum yield is needed, "Zone" or
straddle fracking is utilized. Two packers are
lowered down the well isolateing a specific
"zone" to be Hydro-Fracked.
Straddle Packer Setup
Once that zone has been freed of its
obstructions, the process is repeated at
even intervals until the entire well has
been Hydro-Fracked.
By concentrating the injection to where it is
most needed, using zone-fracturing insures
optimum yield
