Sludge (Dhikuli) Methods

The Dhikuli method involves drilling a 6-inch hole by reaming a 1.5-inch hole, followed by lowering a 4-inch well assembly and filling the annular space with gravel for formation support. It is primarily used in soft formation areas where gravel packing is not feasible. This method is widely recognized for its effectiveness in such conditions.
