Well Drillers Near Afton, Wyoming

A geological estimate for the Afton area.

Detailed Summary

The representative profile for Afton, synthesized from well logs in the area, shows an upper zone of mixed soil and silty sand/gravel (often 0-6 ft), grading into thicker intervals (to ~60 ft) of interbedded silt, clay, and fine sand. Below this, a more permeable gravelly sand to coarse sand and gravel sequence (often water-bearing) is usually encountered between ~60-130 ft, which is commonly targeted for residential water supply (with yields of 5-15+ GPM). Bedrock (limestone or basalt) is typically reached between 120-160 ft; deeper, high-capacity wells may be completed into fractured bedrock. The static water level is most commonly reported between 25-55 ft. Wells are usually drilled with rotary mud circulation, cased from surface to at least the uppermost gravel zones, and grouted with cement.
