Hydraulic Fracturing (Hydro-Fracturing) for Increased Well Yield

Boost Groundwater Production in Low-Yield Wells Across Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon & Central BC

When a well underperforms due to restricted flow or low aquifer recharge, drilling deeper isn’t always the answer. At Fyfe Well & Water Services, we offer hydraulic fracturing (hydro-fracturing) services to improve groundwater yield from low-producing wells throughout Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon, and the Central BC Interior. This proven technique uses high-pressure water injection to open or expand fractures within the bedrock, increasing permeability and allowing greater water flow into the well casing—often restoring or improving supply without the need for new construction.

Our Hydro-Fracturing Services Include:

Well Evaluation & Feasibility Assessment

We begin with a flow test, drawdown analysis, and borehole inspection to determine if your well is a viable candidate for hydro-fracturing based on geology, construction, and pressure dynamics.

Single- and Dual-Packer Hydro-Frac Systems

Using professional-grade packer systems, we isolate targeted zones within the well bore to direct clean, high-pressure water into the surrounding rock formation, expanding existing fractures or creating new ones to enhance yield.

Post-Treatment Development & Testing

After treatment, we flush the well and conduct flow testing, recovery monitoring, and water quality assessments to verify performance gains and determine suitability for use or re-integration into your system.

Reporting & Documentation

All hydro-frac jobs include pre- and post-treatment reports, including flow rate comparisons, recovery curves, and geological observations—critical for municipal and industrial permitting or asset documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know that large-scale water infrastructure projects often come with complex technical and regulatory questions. Below are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from industrial operators, engineers, and project managers working across Central BC.

How much can hydro-fracturing increase flow rates?
Depending on rock structure and treatment zone, flow rates can increase 2x to 10x or more. We’ll test and verify every result.

Is it safe for the well and surrounding area?
Yes—hydro-fracturing uses only clean water and is performed under controlled conditions with careful pressure monitoring and containment.

Can this be used on older or seasonal wells?
Absolutely. Many clients use hydro-frac to revive aging wells or to support increased seasonal usage without new drilling.
