Seabees Drill for Water as
Part of Deployment to Peru
Eighteen U.S. Navy Seabees are
midway through the completion of a water well construction project in
support of New Horizons-Peru 2008, a humanitarian effort focused on
bringing vital quality-of-life projects to the people of the Ayacucho
region. The team of construction engineers is scheduled to construct
two wells by mid-August.

From around the industry
Elderly Woman Drowns in Well
A
75-year-old South African woman drowned while trying to draw water from
a village well. The lack of tap water in the village makes visits to
the well necessary for both consumption and household use. The water
shortage is blamed on "common thugs" who vandalized a number of
boreholes. It's such third incident since 2006 - two other elderly
villagers also have died while trying to get water from the well.

Rigless Well Abandonment
Reduce mobilization and fuel costs by not driving your drill rig to each and every well abandonment project. Using Max's Enterprises' heavy-duty, hydraulic rigless abandonment unit, simply attach to your receiver hitch on your truck or SUV, and use Max's 2-inch well extraction tool to remove shallow PVC riser and screen, or Max's internal cutting tool to remove the upper three feet of well casing.
