PIEZOMETRIC MAPS

During 2013 Hidrogeocol Ca. Ltda carried out a work of
groundwater monitoring inside of Petrocomercial Amazonas
Station.

In order to make the corresponding piezometric map was
necessary to take some measures in the 10 wells inside of
station during different periods of time (Figure No.1).

The Table No.1 indicates some data about wells and the
monitoring dates.






Table No.1.- Information about wells inside of Petrocomercial Amazonas Station
HEIGHT is the wells elevation taking in account the top of casing (TOC)
With the SUFER 8.0 tools we generated four (4) piezometric
map taking in account new data recollected during this month
(04/06/2014).

For this purpose we must measure the groundwater level with
respect to the Top of Casing (TOC). So we obtain the data
contained in the Table No. 2.

Hidrogeocol built a piezometric map considering regional
information adding groundwater levels from other wells
around the influence zone. These results are presented in
Figure No. 1

In our case, we decided to make local maps with the 10
monitoring wells, in order to understand the behavior inside
the station so we generated four different piezometric maps
using the data from Table No. 2.

OBSERVATIONS AND
PRELIMINARY
CONCLUSIONS







In all cases the flow direction (groundwater) inside the
station is approximately west-east which is concordant with
the regional direction in this place.
For this analysis we used kriging option from Surfer
software by generating isolines.
The well number 8 is capturing groundwater from de depth
aquifer so may be for this reason there is an unusual flow
direction around it.
There is a concentration of flow direction at the wells
number 2 and 5.
