How do well diagnostics work and what should drillers know about the process? Mike Miller, president and co-founder of Geo Cam Inc., based in San Antonio, is an expert in the service. Miller and his father Edward, a geologist, launched Geo Cam in the late ’90s. His father initially needed well diagnostic services himself, which sparked the idea to create a business out of it that would cater to smaller businesses and help them compete with larger companies.
Geo Cam offers well logging and downhole camera services across the state of Texas mostly. They’ve also completed projects in Louisiana, New Mexico, Florida and Georgia. Miller says the Texas Ground Water Association (TGWA) has played a big part in acquainting him with groundwater professionals, particularly water well drillers, who stand to benefit from his expertise. For nearly a decade now, Geo Cam has continued fine-tuning the tools and tactics that help drilling industry professionals more thoroughly assess wells and boreholes new and old. To gain a better sense of what exactly well diagnostics involves and what value it brings to drilling contractors, National Driller interviewed Miller after meeting him at the 2017 TGWA conference and expo.
