Love your vid!!! Had a friend who spent $800 bucks to have a well witcher tell him where to drill. He has 5 gpm at 345 feet. The contractor who drilled our off grid well told us that nobody knows where the water is and recommended a convenient spot. Our driller hit water at 140' with 30 gpm. Some people believe in witching but I'm guessing most drillers (including our contractor) think this is nonsense.

[@cybertrk]

Easiest way to find out is witching is real is to google "how does witching work" and you'll instantly see how dumb it is.

Interesting and a good job explaining. Best part for me will seem strange as I was focused on the add on drill rod holders on each side of mast and how they were fabricated and how they would be used. Rig appears to be a 1970's Schramm T64 with an updated air package. Original were piston compressors. Original held only 210 ft of drill pipe but on this one has been expanded to upright storage on both sides. Very clever setup and the extra weight did not seem to be an issue with mast raising. Would love to inspect the rig in person but your video will have to do. Thanks for posting.

[@robertnewman4105]

Interesting. I had a well drilled for my geothermal system last winter. They drilled down almost 400 ft and didn't find sufficient water for an open loop like we planned. But no worries, a 2nd well about 250 ft and we had plenty for a closed loop and I'm more than satisfied with how it turned out. I was not at the house most of the time they were doing their work, so nice to see it actually in progress in this video.

[@Flybyenite]

Idk how drilling for water and installing geothermal go hand in hand. Geothermal uses ground temperature to heat the water in the tube to a constant starting temperature for easier heating and cooling. Constant ground water supply is not necessary for that.

[@erichemard7066]

That first joint of pipe that you see them lowering with the lifting ring in the beginning is called your drill collar, it is a heavy wall pipe which is used for adding weight to the bit. You can see the bit is attached to it. He will add an additional drill collar to it as he gets deeper. The entire assembly is called your BHA or bottom hole assembly. The blocks is what lifts the BHA up and down only which why you need the heavy weight drill collars. What turns the drill string assembly is called a rotary or Kelly, in this case it’s a hammer rotary, where on an oil field rig we have top drives. Imagine this entire operation except 500 x larger and you have something similar to an oil field drilling rig. Minus mud pumps, mud tanks, gas busters, choke manifolds and flare system.

he’s probably guessing that answer also.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

The well on my farm is 816 ft. deep. The pump used to sit at 550 ft. The pump went bad a year ago last June while we were on vacation. When the pump guys went to put the new pump back down, they hit something at 434 ft and couldn't get the pump any lower. Not wanting to damage the new pump or get it stuck where it couldn't be retrieved, they quit at that point. We had water but were more than 100 ft shallower than the previous depth. We starting running out of water this year and were afraid that we may have to drill a new well. We had 4 estimates from 4 different well drilling companies ranging in price from $40,000 to $50,000. about 438 per ft. just for the drilling. One of the companies had a camera and suggested that we may want to pull the pump and send a camera down to see what may be the problem. We did that. I recently did a short video of that experience on my you tube channel.

[@safety_sid]

I would guess that depending on the average water table depth in your area - maybe your farm is an outlier - most drilling contractors don't even have that much drill pipe and casing on hand. The high prices probably are being inflated by the fact that they need to rent more drill pipe third party and source double the casing they normally have on hand. 439' static water level is extremely uncommon for a lot of north America from what I've read .... very very deep.

Hi Donna! Thanks for commenting. Well drillers usually have areas where they work, so there aren't a lot to choose from in any given place. I'd ask around and see what people's experiences have been. Also, you'll want a driller who will confirm a per-foot price, as well as the extras. Metal casing and cap costs extra, and the driller may be require to do some flow testing, which will cost more, too. You'll want to know these numbers ahead of time. Where do you live? The driller who did our well has been doing the work for about 40 years and is well respected. He does travel over a pretty wide area of northern Ontario, too. Bye for now and thanks for watching!

Currently I'm in New Jersey, but eventually, I plan to retire in New Mexico (which is where I might need to drill a well!) Thanks for the info, though!

[@robertlillejord7926]

Some of us travel very far for drilling I’ve went 1000km to put in surface casing depends on the company’s and reputations ask around is best advice and they should have no issues explaining what’s going to happen to the yard

[@zebra6551]

So is the water fresh for drinking direct from the well?

[@ErrorInvalidName]

Technically yes but it's best to treat it because it's probably super hard water coming from that deep. So if someone is sensitive to hard water elements it can make stomachs upset.

[@skeetersden]

interesting, we see them drilling here quite a bit but didn't know the intricacies

[@ivanmercado5831]

How much did you pay for this well?

[@thomasromano8276]

Our Well Drilling Crew was at about 120ft when they say that they either hit sand and it collapsed and filled the hole or that something called "Cup caking" occurred. Anyway they were at it for hours trying to get the pipe to circulate(turn). They still have an estimated 380ft to go. They finally left for the day. Today is May 10th, 2021. HELP

[@baileylineroad]

Hello Thomas! That sounds like a distressing situation. Your situation is different than mine since all our wells are mostly drilled through rock. Perhaps I can help, though. Feel free to email me at [e-mail]. Bye for now, Steve

[@owenfifield92]

if they lost circulation then that means they stopped clearing cuttings out the top and their air was dispersing into the formation. losing rotation would imply losing the ability to turn

[@silentdeath9237]

That's a lot different than what we used to do they put PVC casing all the way down and the bottom pipe got slits cut into it and then a sock over it for a filter this is quite a bit different with not putting a casing all the way down

[@chiamakaonyema218]

Oh wow!

[@valantineche3284]

Impressive Am a well driller from west Africa and just moved to the states Is your company hiring now cos I could really do with a job right now in my field

We 'city' dwellers have NO IDEA how 'easy' we have it.

[@EasternExplorer]

Damn straight. "cityiots"

[@user-gu2zh7yp1t]

For now

[@justinc2633]

i dont think anyone nowadays has an idea how easy they have it, without the big truck i bet this woulda been a lot harder

[@powhana6019]

I can't wait for mine

[@mohammedal-kalbani5225]

In Oman 🇴🇲 we drill to 700ft below the surface to pump out the water.

[@nobilitas16]

but 10 ft for oil 😂

[@marksparkplug7758]

Steve that looks like a good well, in my area we need at least 10gpm To be able to build a home take care, by the way the septic tank Was concrete.

[@bigadamhilbilly]

I drilled a well in South Dakota, we went 4,950’ deep for water! I’ve never worked so hard in my life

[@jaybrown4526]

at 20 dollars a foot thats 100 grand, just for the digging. all the rest of the system could bring the price well above 120 grand. For a well???
