Every figure here comes from a report a licensed driller filed on the day the work ended — sometimes decades ago. It describes what was found then, not what a well yields today, and it is not a statement that any well is sound, potable or still in use.

Drilling a well near grid 24-17?

Depth is only half the quote. What it costs depends on the rock, the casing and the pump. Tell us where and we pass the request to licensed Texas drillers.

We are nobody's agent and have no arrangement with any firm today. What we do with this.

This grid falls in Cochran County.
