Abandoning A Well

The process of Abandoning a well includes the placement of sand and clay soils in the borehole and pumping a cement grout. This process is unique to each well depending on the well construction and location of the well. 


Well abandonment applies to:

  • Water Wells
  • Monitoring Wells
  • Commercial Wells
  • Test Wells
  • Observation Wells

James Drilling Company can help with all your well abandonment, monitoring, and observation needs and services in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.

Why Is Abandonment Necessary?

If a well is not properly taken care of, other operating wells and the water it produces can become polluted with nitrate and other contaminants, compromising the health of you and your loved ones. Abandoned wells are often an easy and direct route for contaminants to enter your ground water. Colorado Rules and Regulations require that all unused and unpermitted wells are properly abandoned. This includes water wells, monitoring holes, observation wells and test wells. In addition, abandoned wells pose a liability for the owner as exposed well holes can create dangerous situations for livestock and humans.


Our team takes pride in the level of experience, professionalism, and skills we have gained over the years. Contact us today at 303-420-518 for a free consultation.
