O. Box 30667 <br /> Stockton, CA 95213 <br /> Attention: Nick <br /> To Whom it may concern: <br /> On or about May 8, 2012, Purviance Drillers, Inc was contacted to check and diagnose the pump on New <br /> Castle Rd belonging to Farmington Fresh. It was determined that the pump needed to be pulled and <br /> repaired or replaced. <br /> The following summary of the events resulted: <br /> 1. When we attempted to pull the pump,we found the pump was stuck in the well. <br /> 2. Second attempt to pull the turbine pump,the tube and shaft would not pull out of the bowl. <br /> The tube and shaft broke at (+/-) 50 tons of pull. <br /> 3. The 10" Column which is usually good for 100 tons, pulled apart at less than 10 tons. <br /> 4. We were able to drive the pump down 18",then eventually pull up 30 feet before breaking the <br /> Shaft approximately 30 feet below surface. This left approximately 120 feet of pump to pull but <br /> It was to tight in the well to move. <br /> S. The conclusion was the pump is un-retrievable. Probable cause is a casing collapse from <br /> deterioration. <br /> 6. Rig and labor time to attempt to pull the pump from the well was 43.25 hours, and 13.25 hours <br /> spent in the shop building special tools to aid in the attempt to pull the pump. <br /> 7. Our recommendation was to drill a new well as any additional retrieval attempts would result in <br /> Increased cost with little probability of success. <br /> Daniel Purviance <br /> Purviance Drillers, Inc <br />
