There ain’t no oil nor gas in this area. One of the few areas in Texas with no petroleum.

When we drill in this area we’re hoping to strike something more valuable than oil - an aquifer. We get our water from a 200 ft well. With more people moving into the Hill Country, everyone drills their own water well. The water tables are receding.

Years ago, my Dad & Uncle would say, “...one day water is gonna be more valuable than oil..”
I believe it.

Wow interesting,Texas is a huge state.
Maybe you can get enough water from your well to take care of all your needs?

Yeah you don’t want to deplete the aquifer.. The problem we have in Florida is if we take our aquifer levels down too low we get salt water intrusion...
