Ector County domestic well depths

What 6,632 positive-depth domestic records show

The Ector County file contains 6,632 domestic-use reports, all with a positive borehole depth. The middle half runs from 117 to 179 feet, with a 135-foot median; P10 is 102 feet and P90 is 218 feet. The median domestic completion year is 2014, and the latest submitted date in the county summary is March 2, 2026.

Population estimates rose from 165,511 in 2020 to 170,022 in 2024—an increase of 4,511 residents, or 2.73%. Property change can tighten access, alter utilities and drainage, and make coordination with power, septic, structures, trenching, storage, and future site work more important.

County records help frame questions; the drilling quote is built from the property location, access, demand, and complete-system scope.

Plain answer: Ector County domestic records center on a 135-foot median, but the exact property and finished-system needs control the quote.

Keep record purposes separate

Ector County’s well file includes several different work categories

Domestic records belong in the household planning lane. Monitoring, environmental, irrigation, injection, rig-supply, industrial, fracking-supply, stock, and public-supply filings serve different purposes. Oilfield and specialized categories should not become household expectations.

Depth patterns by reported use

Start with the domestic distribution

Blending household records with oilfield, industrial, irrigation, monitoring, environmental, stock, and public-supply work creates a misleading average.

What shapes a drilling estimate

The complete Ector County job is more than drilling footage

Permian Basin acreage needs deliberate access and staging: all-weather road base, gate width, turning geometry, overhead clearance, caliche work-pad conditions, utilities, power, septic, drainage, nearby operations, and future construction all belong in the plan.

01

Access and staging

All-weather road condition, gate width, turning room, overhead lines, and a firm level pad for the drill truck and support vehicle.

02

Demand and storage

Household use, livestock, irrigation, fire reserve, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.

03

Pump, power, and pressure

Pump selection, anticipated lift and drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure equipment, line runs, and trenching.

04

Finished system

Mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, testing, pump and controls, storage or treatment, startup, and cleanup.

Build the estimate around what the Ector County property actually needs.

Send the exact location, intended water use, access constraints, power and utility context, and known parcel plans.

A complete Ector County budget may include mobilization, stable-pad setup, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, startup, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.

The GWDB reference set contains 930 Ector County records. Aquifer classifications include 840 Edwards-Trinity Plateau, 52 Ogallala, 15 Dockum, 17 unassigned, and 6 records in minor combinations. Share the address or coordinates so nearby-record comparisons can focus on the property.

All 930 records in the same reference set are listed outside a groundwater conservation district. Share the exact property location early so current property requirements, access, and scheduling questions can be reviewed before mobilization.
