We pass your request only to drillers and pump installers who hold a current license from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). You can check any driller yourself in OWRB's Find a Licensed Driller tool.

The driller looks at your site and quotes the job. You decide whether to move forward.
Our services
Water well drilling
Get water you can count on at a new home site, a barndominium, a cabin near Grand Lake, or a farm or ranch. Depth, casing and pump choices change the price a lot, so you get help asking for a clear estimate that spells them out. Learn about water well drilling
Well pump repair
If your well has always worked and the water suddenly stops, or the pressure drops, or the pump runs constantly, the problem is often the pump, the pressure switch or the tank rather than the well itself. A pump repair can cost far less than a new well. Learn about well pump repair

What you get
One request instead of many phone calls
Instead of calling every driller in the phone book, you send one request and we pass it to a licensed driller who works your area.
Licensed drillers only
Oklahoma licenses well drilling and pump installation professionals through the OWRB. Licensed drillers must follow state construction standards, including how a well is located relative to pollution sources, how it is sealed, and how it is disinfected. We refer only drillers who hold a current license.

Local to the Grove and Grand Lake area
The Boone and Roubidoux aquifers underlie parts of Delaware, Ottawa, Mayes and Craig counties, and the Roubidoux is typically more than 400 feet deep. A driller who works this area regularly knows what local wells tend to look like.
What a new well costs
Prices vary with depth, casing and site conditions. As a rule of thumb, third-party 2026 estimates put a 200-foot well at about $7,100 with 4-inch PVC casing and about $12,240 with 6-inch steel casing. Across Oklahoma, welldrillingcosts.com lists an average project cost of $7,030, with drilling rates of $25 to $55 per foot and an average depth of 185 feet. These are third-party estimates, not quotes from us or from any driller.
| Depth | 4-inch PVC casing | 6-inch steel casing |
|---|---|---|
| 200 ft | $7,100 | $12,240 |
| 250 ft | $8,875 | $15,300 |
| 300 ft | $10,650 | $18,360 |
| 350 ft | $12,425 | $21,420 |

What to know before you drill
Permits. The OWRB does not require an intent-to-drill authorization for domestic wells used for household purposes, livestock up to the land's grazing capacity, or irrigation of less than 3 acres. Other uses, such as public water supply or irrigating more than 3 acres, do need authorization. Not sure which category you are in? Ask the OWRB or your driller before work starts. Read the permit guide
Where the well goes. Keep a new well away from septic systems, animal pens, old oil or gas wells and other contamination sources. The OWRB owner's guide suggests keeping sources at least 50 feet down-gradient of the well when you can.
Testing. The OWRB recommends testing well water for coliform bacteria and nitrates at least once a year.
Ask your neighbors. The OWRB suggests checking its online well database and asking neighbors about depth, yield and water quality. That gives you a realistic idea of what to expect on your land.
Common questions
How much does it cost to drill a well in Oklahoma?
Third-party estimates put the average between $5,000 and $10,000, with a range from about $3,000 for a shallow well to $15,000 or more for a deep or difficult one. Depth and casing are the biggest factors.
How deep is a typical well?
The Oklahoma Geological Survey's aquifer map says that wells drilled into the state's bedrock aquifers are mostly 100 to 400 feet deep. In parts of Northeast Oklahoma, deeper aquifers such as the Roubidoux are typically more than 400 feet down.
Do I need a permit?
Domestic wells for household use, livestock and irrigation of less than 3 acres do not need an intent-to-drill authorization from the OWRB. Other uses do. Confirm with the OWRB.
Should I repair my pump or drill a new well?
If the well used to produce enough water and then stopped, start with the pump, pressure switch and tank. A driller can test the well before recommending anything bigger.
Does it cost anything to get a free estimate?
No. Requesting a free estimate costs nothing and does not obligate you to hire anyone. The driller sets the price for the work.
