LOL i saw this pump and had to laugh its a sump pump for septic or sub basement drainage it has a float switch that turns it on when the water level gets high.
real mud will turn this pump into salvage in a few hrs

hello all i did a little fact checking and found the water depth varies from 250 average to as deep as 2000 feet and it will require rotory drilling.
i dont know the exact area but the state has info available for depth in the area.
just about every thing except the tracked drill rig wont work there. the rock formations i saw posted in another forums link say all
hard rock drilling. a 4 inch cased well will require a 5.5 to 6 inch drill bit at any where from 200 used to over 1200 for a carbide tipped tricone bit.
requirements for a tricone bit are 120 RPM and 1000 lbs of pressure per inch in diameter of bit.
also will need Air and water pumps on the rig a minimum of 120 psi 50 cfm air and 300 to 500 psi water at depts below 200 feet. you have to push the cuttings and muddy water is heavy.
roughly 7gallons per cubic foot and 8lbs per gallon of water, its a big push to get that water out of the hole.
most pumps on small rigs are cheap and wont do. a rotory pump will max out at 120 psi if you spend $3500 and find out at 150 ft your water stops flowing so does drilling.
a drilling mud pump will push 800 psi and 25 gallon per minute and needs the HP to drive it
an electric drill rig wont work in that area burning fuel is the only way to push to depth for any real water.
24 hp driving hydraulics for swivel head and pull down could be run with an electric motor but wold require a large amount of money for a servo capable of driving 3600 rpm and get the Hpower and where would the electric come from?
my rig has diesel running the air compressor and gas running the hydraulics for the water and swivel. a year and 14,000 in parts to build and will need repair work after every hole.
i live near 3 drillers there huge 200K plus rigs get repairs after every hole drilled, its abrasive and pounds the heck out of them. its rock.
