First Use of Horizontal Wells in Australia for In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) and Biosparging

This session will present the challenges involved in the design, construction and utilisation of horizontal drilling for remediation purposes. Specifically, it will present a case study conducted in the Botany Bay area, NSW, where Modified Fenton Reagents (MFRs) were used to target a TEX plume.

We will conclude the session with audience driven questions and answers. Please email me at elearning@landandgroundwater.com with any detailed aspects of the subject you would like to see addressed.
