Did you know drillers can make or break a water well?

Water well targets are often missed or can be damaged by inexperienced drillers resulting in additional attempts, delays in completion and increased overall costs. Drillers that have extensive oil and gas global experience may be an asset in the oil and gas industry, but for a wafer well, it is not sufficient because one is looking specifically for a different resource. Water is simply not oil or gas. Partnering with the right driller can make or break your water well.

Water is a unique resource that can be both problematic and is frequently the ‘sought-after’ target. It is critical to maintain the integrity of the aquifer throughout the drilling process and utilize the best of the formation ( to the inch ) and produce a well to the highest standard available.

Oil and gas drillers run at a faster pace of drilling. Oil and gas drillers are often not used to not having to cover warranty for residential, recreational and agriculture-related well applications. They use similar materials but have a different drilling application. Oil and gas drillers are often told where, how deep and what muds to use by geologists. Oil and gas drillers use steel casing and perforate the casing with explosives.

Water dell drillers must be their own consultant. They make their own well design based on variable changes to lithology, aquifer formation, water quality, perimeters required for the well. There is not a “one size fits all” application. Water well drillers are their own geologist and require historical references with an understanding of geological deposits to best utilize the aquifer. Water well drillers are also mud mixing experts. Different water qualities make different drilling mud qualities with different results. The mud results can impact the well production negativity and effect pump rates, and water well quality.
