Casing (4.5-inch diameter) was then set and cemented from 741 ft to the surface, and the hole was deepened at a 4-inch diameter to a total depth of 1660 ft. After coring was completed, the hole was plugged back to a depth of 731 ft with cement. In January and April 1977, two sections of the casing were perforated: the Rustler/Salado contact zone between 702 and 726 ft; and the interval from 558 to 586 ft, which includes the entire Culebra from 558 to 583 ft (Mercer and Orr, 1979). A PIP was set in the casing at 683 ft on 2.375-inch tubing to allow monitoring of Rustler/Salado and Culebra water levels. In March 1983, the PIP was replaced with a retrievable bridge plug set from 674 to 679 ft. For testing in 1986, a PIP was temporarily set in the casing from 532.3 to 536.6 ft deep on 2.375-inch tubing. The configuration of the well at the time of testing is shown in Figure 3-19. 3.18 P-18 Well P-18 was drilled in October and November 1976 as part of the potash-resource evaluation program at the proposed WlPP site (Jones, 1978). The hole was drilled and reamed to a depth of 1139 ft at a diameter of 7.875 inches, and 4.5-inch casing was cemented from 1138 ft to the surface. The hole was then drilled and cored at a 4-inch diameter to a depth of 1998 ft, and plugged back to 1125 ft with cement. In January and April 1977, two sections of the casing were perforated: the RustlerlSalado contact zone between 1076 and 1100 ft; and the interval from 912 to 940 ft, which includes most of the Culebra which lies between 909 and 938 ft (Mercer and Orr, 1979). In May 1977, a PIP was set on 2.375-inch tubing at a depth of 1061 ft to allow monitoring of Rustler/Salado and Culebra water levels. In early 1983, the PIP was removed and a bridge plug was set from 997 to 32
1002 ft deep to allow testing of the Culebra. Testing consisted of a pressure-pulse test and a slug test, both of which indicated very low transmissivity, but were otherwise inconclusive. On June 12, 1987, the P-18 casing was reperforated from 909 to 938 ft to improve the hydraulic connection between the Culebra and the well. On June 16, 1987, a PIP was set in the well from 895.9 to 899.2 ft deep on 2.375-inch tubing, and all fluid was bailed from the tubing. The tubing was bailed again on August 26, 1987, after the fluid level in the tubing had recovered. A minipacker was then installed in the tubing from 780.4 to 782.2 ft for use in subsequent testing. The configuration of the well at the time of testing is shown in Figure 3-20. 34T7.M fl -1 4.5-Inch, 9.5 Ib/ft- 3478.42 fl WELL CASING TEST-INTERVAL TRANSDUCER DRUCK PDCR 10/D BASK1 1.5-inch PACKER- 7.875-inch REAMED BOREHOLE- PRODUCTION-INJECTION- PACKER \ CULEBRA -"- DOLOMITE 931"-1 997fl- ALL DEPTHS BELOW GROUND SURFACE I I 1 I I I 2.37Clnch TUBING ,-- t 770.22 n 780.39 fl -' 782.24fl \ r 1 895.9011 -, 899.2Ofl CASING PERFORATIONS J BRIDGEPLUG NOT TO SCALE Figure 3-20. Well Configuration for P-18 Slug Test 3.19 ERDA-9 ERDA-9 was the first exploratory borehole for the proposed WIPP. It was drilled between April and June 1976 to provide stratigraphic and structural information on the Permian evaporites, as well as to provide core samples for further testing. When the bottom of the 15-inch hole was 1078 ft deep, 10.75-inch casing was installed and cemented from the surface to a depth of 1033 ft, approximately 185 ft into the Salado Formation. After the hole was drilled to its finai total depth of about 2877 ft at a diameter of 9.875 inches, it was completed by installing 7-inch casing from the surface to a depth of 2871 ft, and cementing only the lower 343 ft of that casing in place (Sandia and USGS, 1983). The hole was then left filled with a diesel-fuel-based drilling mud. ERDA-9 remained in this configuration until October 1986, when it was recompleted as a Culebra observation well. During the recompletion, the upper 980 ft of the 7-inch casing were cut off from the lower section and removed from the hole. A retrievable bridge plug was then set in the 10.75-inch casing from 758.9 to 760.6 ft deep, and the Culebra interval between 705.5 and 728.5 ft deep, as determined from a gamma-ray log, was shot-perforated using 4 shotdft. Sandia and USGS (1983) reported the Culebra 1.5 ft higher, probably indicating that the two geophysical surveys did not use the same datum. From October 27 to November 14,1986, ERDA-9 was developed by pumping and surging. Additional recompletion and development information is contained in Stensrud et al. (1987). For slug testing, a PIP was temporarily set in the well casing from 672.7 to 674.5 ft on 2.375-inch tubing, and a minipacker was set in the tubing from 641.0 to 642.8 ft. The configuration of the well at the time of testing is shown in Figure 3-21. 3.20 Cabin Baby-I Cabin Baby-1 was drilled by a private company in 1974 and 1975 to explore the potential for natural-gas production from the upper Bell Canyon Formation. The borehole was cased from the surface to about 650 ft deep with 13.375-inch casing. The U.S. Department of Energy assumed control over the well after it was found to be a "dry hole." The hole was reentered and deepened in 1983 to a depth of about 4291 ft at a diameter of 9.875 inches to allow hydrologic testing of sandstone units in the upper Bell Canyon (Beauheim et al., 1983). Following those tests, a PIP was set at the base of the Castile 33
