What happens here
As sections of the well pipe are lifted, use a large pipe wrench to loosen and unscrew the threaded connections between pipes. Due to the extreme corrosion visible on the pipe, significant effort and potentially two pipe wrenches may be required to break the seals. A burlap sack is used around the pipe, likely to improve grip or prevent debris from falling back into the well during disconnection. Once a section is disconnected, it is typically laid aside.
Goal: Separate the long well pipe into manageable lengths
Tools and materials
- Burlap Sack — Providing grip on the pipe or protecting the well opening from falling debris
- Pipe Wrench — Loosening and unscrewing corroded pipe connections
- Well Pipe Sections — The individual sections of the well pipe being removed
