The Salton Sea has become one of the dustiest places in the United States and at one time was declared a national disaster area due to drastic subsistence of groundwater in the are due to tourism.
ABC Drilling is installing "off the grid" production wells using solar power to help supply water vegetation that will be used to keep the dust down and hopefully eliminate current dust issues.
The purpose of drilling these exploratory holes is to determine the best water bearing zones in order to utilize the same boreholes for production wells. Once the exploratory sonic holes are completed, the same boreholes will be converted to production wells using mud rotary drilling techniques.
This project is significant because ABC Drilling used sonic drilling technology to depths that far exceed what was thought to be possible in this area, in this type of geology. ABC's drill rig, operator and management team planned a complex drilling plan that was instrumental in achieving these depths. No other company with sonic drilling capabilities even bid on the work because they all thought it was impossible and high risk.
