Thanks for the help, I'll tell him to go to 300, maybe 350 and if nothing pull out and start looking at different options.

since we're talking about how deep our dry holes are
I spent a summer drilling irrigation wells. Took a dry hole (only 6-incher though) to 2000' and then the owner of the drilling company looked at the farmer and said "tough luck, you owe me $30k." Farmer gave him a Peterbuilt in trade.

bring beer and I will be in Edmonchuck on Wednesday ....sounds like fun
its actually pretty easy ...lol
a couple years ago we were on a cruise and got talking to this guy, he was from arizona and had a cabin i don't know where but they decided to have a well drilled they new it was a gamble. they went down 18,000 feet no water. he wouldn't say how much it cost but there pretty sad. it was supposeddly some awesome spot they where going to there dream home retirement
That sure makes me feel better about my 250 feet of wasted money
Holy chit...the 525 cat on our T3W was workin pretty hard at 1100', just imagine the hp it took to go 18,000'....wow
i don't think it was 18,000 in one hole. it may have been a couple of holes. when you get that deep i think you are getting into natural gas territory but maybe not i'am not sure whats in az
the well at the ranch is 910 ft, water but nothin special, can't drink it,
gas wells here are 1800 ft average,
some oil wells around here are only 900 ft,
no gas in the well

I have a similar problem, our well is in black shale with poor refill. We have barely enough water to get by. I've looked into drilling another well, but my next door neighbors ran themselves out of money doing that with poor results. I've also looked into a cistern, but since we have enough water to get by for household use I'm putting that on hold for now. We've decided to try to salvage as much rainwater as possible for outside watering, it's amazing how much is available if you have the ability to save it. Hydro fracturing sounds like a good idea, I'm going to look into it locally, does anybody have more info on it?
rainwater into a cistern is what alot of guy do here for garden/lawn water
I ran into a guy who specialized in salvaging rainwater. It was amazing how much water could be saved, he said something like 14,000 gallons in a year off the roof of a 2000 square foot house.
if your well is in the rock and isn't already a 1000 feet deep you can drill deeper in the well you already have. i've seen hydrofracing work and not work.
It's 240' and 6" case, but it's 25 years old. The driller I talked with said that it wasn't a good option to drill deeper because the case had been in the ground too long to move down. So he would have to sleeve it on the inside with smaller case. He drilled several wells in my area and most are 400' plus with 8" case, and still don't produce very good. So drilling another well probably isn't the answer. The pump maint guy said there used to be good water in my well at 180' but over the years the pump has been moved to the bottom. I was hoping that hydrofracturing would in essence clean things out and restore it to what it had been.

Sounds like a lot of work
I would just haul water into a big tank or tap a keg and think about the situation farther
