Episode 144 of Ask Brock, host and The Driller contributor Brock Yordy takes his first question from Africa — specifically Gabon, a country on the west coast right on the Equator. Richard sent in a question as old as modern well drilling: How do you troubleshoot a well that pumps sand?
“We need to get a sample of that sand, and do a sieve analysis,” he says. Beyond that, he wonders about specifics of the water well’s construction.
