There are many things to consider when drilling a water well. Here are a few questions to ask yourself.
1. How much is a typical well in my area? Neighbors are a great resource and local well drilling companies.
2. Is public water available? Is it cheap and readily accessible?
3. Is my well drilling contractor licensed and insured?
4. What type of demand do I need, how much GPM?
5. What kind of pressure do I need, how much PSI?
6. Is there possible contaminants in my aquifer? If so, what type of water system will be needed? They can be very costly.
Hope this helps. For residential wells, local drillers are better. They know the area and are familiar with the drilling.

What is the difference between drilling and directional drilling?
Conventional Drilling is the drilling of a vertical well through reservoir rocks to TD. Directional drilling is the drilling of a non-vertical well horizontaly through a source rock.
What is stove pipe in oil drilling?
conductor pipe piled or hammered to refusal before spudding a well
Why is it important to know the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well?
It's important to know the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well because if you drilled 35ft but there was a remaining of about 5-10 more feet you wouldn't really get all the water from the aquifer, and you'd run out of water in an amount of time.

How is drilling for natural gas different from drilling for oil?
Drilling for natural gas is similar to drilling for oil, but gas must be liquefied before it can be shipped.

Where can I find information on well drilling and drilling supplies for a new water well?
Americawestdrillingsupply.com is a great online webstore and resource center for all things drilling. The website has tech charts, drilling systems, and rentals.
What should you do before you do before actually drilling a hole?
Before drilling a hole, you should ensure that you have the right drill bit for the material you are drilling into, measure and mark the drilling spot accurately, and wear appropriate safety gear such as goggles and gloves. It is also important to check for any hidden pipes or wires behind the surface you are drilling into to avoid damaging them.
Why is it important to know the depth if an aquifer before drilling a well?
Knowing the depth of an aquifer before drilling a well is important because it allows drillers to estimate the cost and time required for drilling operations. It also helps in determining the appropriate drilling equipment and technique to use for optimal results. Additionally, knowledge of the aquifer's depth aids in determining the sustainability of water extraction and minimizing the risk of depleting the aquifer.
