Deep well pumps extract groundwater from subterranean aquifers, offering a reliable source of water independent of municipal networks. These pumps, often submersible and powered by electricity, can access water reserves located much deeper than shallow wells, ensuring a consistent supply even during periods of drought.
Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...
The drill scene in the village. Groundwater in Nigeria is widely used for domestic, agricultural, and industrial supplies. The Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation estimate that in 2018 60% of the total population were dependent on groundwater point sources for their main drinking water source: 73% in rural areas and 45% in urban areas.

ExxonMobil has offshore oil production in Nigeria, and is the country's second largest crude oil producer. [1] Mobil Producing Nigeria (MPN) began shallow water operations in 1955, and owns over 90 platforms and 300 producing wells covering 3,200 square kilometres (1,200 sq mi; 790,000 acres). [2] ExxonMobil also has deepwater production in ...
In 2007, on the recommendations of the International Water Management Institute, the Indian government allocated ₹ 1,800 crore (equivalent to ₹ 54 billion or US$630 million in 2023) to fund dug-well recharge projects (a dug-well is a wide, shallow well, often lined with concrete) in 100 districts within seven states where water stored in ...
Man cleaning a well in Yaoundé, Cameroon Hand pump to pump water from a well in a village near Chennai in India, where the well water might be polluted by nearby pit latrines. Shallow pumping wells can often supply drinking water at a very low cost. However, impurities from the surface easily reach shallow sources, which leads to a greater ...
Akpo fields Discovered in 2000, the Akpo field is located in ultra deepwater of Nigeria. Situated on OML 130 approximately 200 kilometres (124 mi) from Port Harcourt, Akpo's water depths range from 1,100 to 1,700 metres (3,600 to 5,600 feet). A gas and condensate field, Akpo is operated by Total, holding a 24% interest in the project.
Deep wells work best in soils with a permeability of k = 10 −3 m/s to 10 −5 m/s; the amount of drawdown that a well can achieve is limited only by the size of the fish pump. [3] Deep wells can be installed in a ring around an excavation to lower the water level and maintain a safe, dry site. Several equations can be used to design deep well ...
