ABSTRACT
From the time that a decision is made to consider chemical grouting as a possible solution to a specific field problem, many other decisions must be made and acted on. While the decision to “consider” may be made without conscious deliberation, the decisions which follow should be made with deliberation and in a logical sequence. Foremost among all the questions that arise is whether the formations are groutable. The answer to this question becomes the first step in the process of verifying the utility of grouting. It may also be the last step if the formation turns out to be ungroutable.
