Geology Depth Estimator

Our AI-powered estimates are based on actual well logs from your area, typically achieving 80-90% accuracy for major geological formations. The tool analyzes up to 50 nearby wells to predict subsurface conditions. However, geology can vary significantly even over short distances, so actual conditions may differ. Always confirm with professional drilling and consider a test bore for critical projects.

The estimator uses DrillerDB's database of millions of well logs filed with state agencies. It analyzes the 5 closest well logs with detailed PDFs and up to 50 additional wells in your area. Our AI examines drilling reports, geological descriptions, water levels, and construction details to create a comprehensive prediction of your site's geology.

Well depth depends on your local water table and aquifer conditions. Our estimator provides both a residential depth estimate (for 5-15 GPM household needs) and a high-capacity estimate based on analysis of nearby wells. Most residential wells range from 100-500 feet deep, but some areas require 800+ feet. The tool will give you a specific estimate for your location.

Yes! The estimator provides both residential and high-capacity depth estimates. High-capacity estimates are useful for irrigation, commercial, or industrial applications requiring 50+ GPM. However, for large projects, we recommend combining this estimate with professional hydrogeological surveys and possibly test drilling.

The AI needs time to analyze multiple well logs, extract geological data from PDFs, identify patterns, and generate a detailed layer-by-layer prediction. It's essentially reading and interpreting dozens of technical documents to create your personalized geology report. The wait ensures you get the most comprehensive analysis possible.

If insufficient well data exists within a reasonable radius (typically 10 miles), the tool will notify you. In such cases, you may need to expand the search radius or consult with local drillers who have experience in your specific area. Remote or newly developed areas may have limited historical drilling data available.
