DrillerDB today announced an AI-powered geology estimator that predicts well depths and subsurface layers anywhere in the United States, turning complex groundwater data into plain-English guidance for planning and bids. The tool leverages DrillerDB’s nationwide well database to deliver fast, map-based insights at the address level.

Built on millions of well records, available across the U.S. The estimator taps DrillerDB’s platform of public and private water-well records to model conditions from shallow aquifers to deep bedrock and surfaces results on an interactive map you can search anywhere in the USA.

What users get in minutes:

• A typical well-depth estimate for the area.
  
  
• An expected static water level.
  
  
• A recommended drilling method (e.g., rotary mud circulation).
  
  
• A layer-by-layer geology profile summarizing local stratigraphy (e.g., glacial clays over dolomitic limestone).

AI where it helps: DrillerDB already uses AI to extract geology, casing and water-level details from well-log PDFs and generate professional diagrams; the new estimator extends that approach to location-based predictions, grounded in nearby logs and observed lithology trends.

“Surprises underground are what blow up budgets. With our Geology Estimator, anyone can get a credible, local starting point for depth and construction planning in minutes — before a rig ever rolls,” said Craig Vander Galien, Founder & CEO of DrillerDB.

Who it’s for?

• Homeowners and builders: budget realistically and reduce change orders.
  
  
• Drillers and pump contractors: quote faster with local depth and method context.
  
  
• Engineers and land developers: de-risk site selection with geology summaries.

The estimator is available now on DrillerDB’s Geology hub and integrates with the Interactive Well Map for nationwide exploration and reporting.

About: DrillerDB is a U.S. platform built “by drillers, for drillers,” combining project management, well-map data and mobile apps with geology-aware workflows. The company maintains nationwide coverage of well records and provides tools for planning, field execution and documentation.
