Tip 1: Drilling companies are given the responsibility to complete the work with the best of their ability. The reality is.... some have better abilities than others. Companies that show up with old equipment in various degrees of maintenance may have the best of intentions, but things can head south very fast and leaving clients in a bad spot.

Tip 2: Check for the companies online and business presence.  Companies that change names often are changing their name for a reason. It is generally not a good one.

Tip 3: If a client contracts one company and company sends another, this is a red flag for me. First the reliability of the hired company is in question and the contract and workmanship of the second company is concerning.

Tip 4: Ask Q’s and get good quality answers. In many aspects your interviewing for the well contract. Be picky. Expect the highest quality for the cost.

Tip 5: Compare apples to apples. Check diameter of screens and casing specifics.  Not all are made the same.

Tip 6: Slow drillers and slow drilling companies can be concerning. If they have time to show up on short notice, they also have the time to drill and re-drill extra footage that may not be required. Good companies take the time to be prepare and have a large inventory on hand. Good companies are generally busy companies and have good list of referrals available.

Tip 7: Water wells are their only job. Companies that have side jobs and owners involved in shift work are not the best options. It often results in timeframes problems and well productions being rushed. It can also mean that if something is not working properly clients will need to wait till the next shift (often weeks away) before they can receive any help, and in reality, that will take time out of the next person on the list that was to be drilled in the time off.  Drillers are then often more interested in drilling another well ($$$$) than making sure the last well is working properly.   It also means that when their regular job requires them, the part time drilling job is put on hold.  Leaving clients wait the entire season.
