CBM Water- Well Testing Services
Alberta Environment requires Coal Bed Methane (CBM) developers to perform baseline water-well testing on water-wells within a 600-800m radius of all new or re-completed CBM wells. Pioneer Professional Services Group provides professional, cost-effective CBM water-well testing to ensure compliance with applicable standards.
Water Well Capacity
A qualified water-well driller obtains all necessary well information such as construction details, non-pumping water levels, etc. A qualified driller performs pumping tests, records drawdown and recovery water levels, and notes observations during the test.
Water Quality Data
A qualified field technician collects water samples, tests for field parameters, and acquires gas samples using a gas flow-through cell. An accredited laboratory analyzes the acquired samples for routine potability, bacteriological parameters, and compositional/isotopic gas analysis.
Data Management and Reporting
All data is entered into Alberta Environment's Coal Bed Methane Groundwater Testing Template. A report is produced discussing the analytical results and makes relevant recommendations. All CBM baseline reports are produced and stamped by an APEGGA professional. Pioneer provides reports to Alberta Environment, the operator and the landowners within a timeline that meets regulatory requirements.
