Monitoring of Borjomi deposit of carbon dioxide mineral water as the informational basis for the study and revaluation of reserves

Abstract

The results of trial production operation in the Central site of Borjomi mineral water deposit during 2015-2018 are analyzed in this article as an example of using monitoring data for the substantiation of water intake optimal scheme. As a result of work at existing bottling plants, the selection of optimal pumping rates for wells was carried out in several stages. The regime analysis identified three hydrodynamic periods: irregular variable water withdrawal, forced operation conditions of wells, and balanced operations. Water level stabilization in the last operation period with the total water withdrawal 282 m3/day was a base for the water reserves revaluation.
