UNSPSC 20122217: Production well testing surface recorder

Surface recorders can be used along with bottom hole recorders to eliminate the guesswork in determining when a well test can be terminated when real-time surface readout is not available.

UNSPSC 20122217 Production well testing surface recorder (Commodity) covers drilling, construction, and testing of potable and non-potable water production wells, including step-drawdown testing, constant-rate testing, recovery testing, water quality laboratory analysis, and related well development and conditioning services. State and local water authorities and environmental agencies solicit under this code for comprehensive well infrastructure projects that combine mechanical drilling and installation with detailed hydrogeological testing and performance documentation. The work typically includes mobilization, casing installation, pump and generator provisioning, sediment and erosion control, utility coordination, and delivery of completion reports and testing records. Issuing bodies include state environmental service agencies and county water departments managing municipal and military water supply systems.
