Don’t know about well drilling prices there but in Washington state it’s running about $45 per foot to drill.
Man: That’s high. You folks are getting ripped.
Washington has a lot of rock to drill through. Down South it's mostly sand and clay so it's a lot cheaper. BTW are you back from Australia or just visiting for the holidays? A good friend of mine has just moved from NC to Darwin because of all the work there. He's loving the people and the weather. Happy Hanukkah.
