3.6 H-15<br />

H-15 was drilled in November 1986 to provide a<br />

Culebra monitoring well in the east-central portion <strong>of</strong><br />

the WlPP site where no other Culebra wells existed<br />

(see Figure 1-1). A 7.875-inch hole was drilled to a<br />

depth <strong>of</strong> 854 ft, about 7 ft above the top <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Culebra, and 5.5-inch casing was set and cemented<br />

from 853 ft to the surface. The hole was then cored<br />

and reamed through the Culebra to about 891 ft to a<br />

diameter <strong>of</strong> 4.75 inches. Following tests <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Culebra, the hole was deepened at a diameter <strong>of</strong><br />

4.75 inches to its final depth <strong>of</strong> 900 ft. Stratigraphic<br />

depths <strong>of</strong> the formations encountered and the final<br />

as-built configuration <strong>of</strong> the well are shown in<br />

3.7 H-16<br />

H-16 was drilled in July and August <strong>1987</strong> to provide a<br />

location to monitor the hydraulic responses <strong>of</strong> the<br />

members <strong>of</strong> the Rustler during construction <strong>of</strong> the<br />

WIPP Air-Intake Shaft. A hole was rotary-drilled and<br />

reamed to a diameter <strong>of</strong> 9.625 inches to a depth <strong>of</strong><br />

470 ft, and 7-inch casing was installed and cemented<br />

in place from the surface to a depth <strong>of</strong> 469 ft. The<br />

hole was deepened in five steps to its final total<br />

depth <strong>of</strong> 850.9 ft. Each member <strong>of</strong> the Rustler was<br />

successively cored and reamed to a 4.75-inch<br />

diameter. Drillstern, slug, andfor pulse tests were<br />

performed on each member before the next member<br />

was cored. After all testing was finished, the hole<br />
