Well Drillers Near Oakley, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Oakley area.

Detailed Summary

The representative geological profile for the Oakley region consists of an upper sequence of interbedded clay and sand layers, occasionally with gravel. These unconsolidated deposits typically range to 90-100 ft below ground surface, followed by a bedrock transition featuring shale and thick sandstone, sometimes alternating with further shale. Typical residential wells targeting 5-15+ GPM generally terminate in the deeper sand/gravel layer above bedrock or are completed in shallow sandstone, commonly at 90-130 ft. High-capacity wells (for agriculture or municipal supply) are cased deeper, often into thicker sandstone up to 180 ft. Nearly all wells are constructed using rotary mud methods with PVC casing set through the unconsolidated deposits and grouted with bentonite slurry.
