<p><span>During February and March 1964, the U. S. Geological Survey ran caliper, conductance, and temperature logs on several </span>wells<span> </span>in<span> the </span>Sarasota<span> area. The </span>Florida<span> Geological Survey had previously run gamma ray and electric logs on the same </span>wells<span>. Two flowing </span>wells<span> were selected for </span>packer<span> </span>testing<span>. The two </span>wells<span> are about the same depth, penetrate essentially the same geologic horizons, and are about 16 miles apart. The packers were set </span>in<span> the </span>wells<span> between the producing horizons of the formations penetrated and each of the horizons was tested for head, amount of production, and quality of </span>water<span>. One of the tests produced excellent results, indicating that the various producing zones were effectively isolated by the packers and that different quality of </span>water<span>, quantity of </span>water<span>, and a different head was available from each zone. The other test did not show sharp differences but did indicate the extent of contamination of the producing horizons </span>in<span> a flowing </span>well<span> which had been capped for approximately two years. These tests indicate that </span>packer<span> </span>testing<span> can measurably add to knowledge of the separation of permeable zones. </span></p>
