Water Well Drilling in Tulsa & Green Country
New Wells for Rural Homes, Builds and Replacements
Most people call us for a new well for one of three reasons. You're building on land with no water yet. Your old well has gone dry or failed for good. Or you want off a rural water line and onto your own supply.
Whatever the reason, water well drilling is a planned job, and the best first step is an on-site look at your land. We check where a well can go, how deep it will likely need to be, and what the whole system will cost.
A new well also needs a pump, a pressure tank and a line to the house. We handle all of it, so you deal with one crew from the first hole to the first glass of water.
Proud to Serve Tulsa and Green Country
We drill water wells around Tulsa and in 12 nearby towns, from acreage lots to farm ground.
What Our Well Drilling Service Includes
Site Evaluation
We walk your land and pick a spot that meets setback rules from septic systems, property lines and buildings, with good access for the rig.
Licensing and State Rules
In Oklahoma, water well drillers are licensed through the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). Every well has to meet state construction standards and be logged when it's finished.
Drilling and Casing
We drill to water, set casing to keep the hole open and clean, and seal the space around it so surface water can't get in.
Pump and Pressure System
A new well needs the right pump for its depth and flow. We set the pump, pressure tank and switch, and run the line to your home.
Water Testing
New well water should be tested before your family drinks it. We'll point you to a lab and explain what the results mean.
Old Well Plugging
If you're replacing a failed well, the old one shouldn't be left open. We can plug it the right way so it doesn't become a path for pollution.
What a New Well Costs in Oklahoma
Well drilling cost depends mostly on how deep we have to go. WellDrillingCosts' 2026 Oklahoma estimates for a complete system (casing, pump, pressure tank, electrical and permits):
| Well depth | Complete system |
|---|---|
| 100 feet | $7,300 to $10,300 |
| 150 feet | $8,950 to $13,450 |
| 200 feet | $10,600 to $16,600 |
| 300 feet | $13,900 to $22,900 |
Drilling alone runs about $25 to $55 per foot, and the average Oklahoma well is about 185 feet deep.
Steel casing, needed in some bedrock wells, can push the price higher. We give you a written estimate after we see your land. For the full breakdown, read our water well drilling cost guide.
