EgunMogaji2: They must ve been drilling blindly with no clear image of what's in the subsurface. If you are close to them you can tell them to pause the drilling and reconduct a comprehensive geophysical Investigation, the investigation must be of high resolution to a depth of about 200-500m. 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: It's always the best to sink borehole before starting any project, it saves a lot of cost and stress but most people are always so eager to see the building standing... Drilling is not an easy task and some areas are just mad, carrying out a geophysical Investigation before purchasing lands can save some heartaches. There is no formula for getting good quantity of water from the ground, but it's always good to follow best practice as this will reduce the %error introduced by equipment and nature to the barest minimum. No geophysical Survey tool in this world can give you 100% iteration, it can just be 99%. This is the professional truth but our people won't follow it. They want someone that will use mouth swear that there is water there, once you hear something like this, just know that the person is 100% quack. Also terrains differs to each other, deploying rigs designed for places like Abẹ́òkúta, Ibadan to locations like mowe, ibafo, Lagos is like putting a round peg in square hole, there is no way they can handle the job! And you will keep on spending money. Even rigs to be deployed to sedimentary areas get level, some won't just have the energy to penetrate some important rock formations which is sealing the water. As Lagos is, we have drillings that are around 80k and we have drillings that are not less than 80m. The scope of work is different! 1 Like |

kopell: Yea, pump capacity should be based on yield and not only depth of Borehole. We can use a 1.5-2hp pump on shallow depths of around 40m if the yield is excellent. And we can use 0.75-1hp on a hole of 90-100m if the yield is just fair. In whatever case, there should be a pump testing to determine the best capacity for the hole having in mind that any inbalance can lead to pump getting burnt. In some cases, if the subsurface is not stable and good Casing is not used, you might end up having a collapse borehole as a result of vibrations from pump. |

kopell: sir. Thanks for the good words. Like I always, say. Drilling is very difficult, infact I don't like taking drilling projects but they just keep coming. Like in ds mowe ofada here, if any client approach me, my price is btw 2-3m. Some will say is this guy crazy, my neighbour did his own for 300k. On the part of geophysical Survey, being a geologist doesn't mean you are good. The best geologist are the one that have seen the most rocks. The best geologist is not someone with 1st class but someone with high field experience. 2 Likes |

dapotemi: seems we ve discussed before about your Borehole before. Borehole drilling is a difficult task. We have lot of artesian calling themselves borehole drillers. Most of these people are illiterates and doesn't have the technicality to deliver. I always advise people not to consult a driller for Borehole works, a Hydrogeologist or geophysicist is the right person. You also need to know that most Geoscientists are not practising, a larger percentage are in the banking sector so one just have to know who he is dealing with before giving out job. Anything drilling is a very difficult job, 100% success is not always guaranteed. 2 Likes |

diordaves: Though sedimentary drilling is the most technical, mowe-ofada axis is not that stubborn. Once you don't jeopardise with the right team, right tools, right Casing thickness then the job is a success. The image attached is one of the rig we used in ofada, you can see its totally different from the Indian rigs. The Indian rigs are majorly created for basement drillings (they love breaking igneous/metamorphic rocks) and once the overburden is much, they won't be able to do the job.

folmus: Mowe-ofada is a pure sedimentary terrain. The sedimentary rock units are clay, shale and sandstone in which the sandstone is the aquifer. The minor aquifer is mostly at 40m (this can only be tapped by the manual drillers, the major aquifer is at 80m ( you need a motorised rig to tap the aquifer here) The report was mentioning overburden thickness and this pertains only to basement/ transition zones. The overburden is the load of sedimentary rock (sand, clay etc) units overlying a basement rock. 2 Likes |

folmus: If your site is at mowe, then you should check your Geophysical Survey report. Most likely your report is misleading. |
