Typically karst areas only, otherwise we drill to underground aquifers like porous bedrock past confining layers that hold water. Most are not underground caves but layers of porous substrate like sand and gravels, bedrock fractures
Do you have a pic of how you fastened your camera to the downhole rig? I’d like to do the same for my old well, but don’t want to risk losing my camera.
PVC casing? And it appears badly ruptured. Well casings in the NE are typically steel and about 50’ long. 100’ if you have a well driller who isn’t a gambler. And an aquifer that low would be a sign to move. Cool video tho.
I'm trying to figure out the insane pump you need to get the water up this high, or am I missing something here? (drilling wells isn't very common in The Netherlands, where I'm from, though they used to be more common in rurar areas back in the days)
@@weeardguyNot that isane of a pump is needed. We had to re-drill a well down to 300ft in North Carolina (The original was really shallow and ran low up in the summer). It was only a 3 or 5HP motor and for consistancy in water preassure you just have a preasure tank.
I think it'd be neat if somebody did a bore exploration video like this only to find small critters living in some water-filled void. It would be an opportunity for doing some science at that point. (If things could live off of deep ocean vents, then why not some other mineral consuming bacteria?)
No normally, the PVC extends to stable rock. In my area casing typically is only the first 60-80ft of a 200-foot well. Below that, the bedrock will be fractured, allowing water to flow. This well appears to be drilled down into an aquifer that looks like it has been pumped dry. This is not what a well typically looks like inside. At least in my area. The purpose of casing and casing grout is to keep surface water out of the borehole in order to prevent chemicals and pathogens from the surface groundwater from entering the well. Casting is also used to keep soft layers from collapsing into the borehole, but casing is expensive so it typically stops at stable rock.
You dangle a pump down there, with 300 feet worth of wiring to power it and 300 feet worth of piping to pipe the water back up. However, it looks like the well here has experienced some tectonic movement and you'd probably have some trouble getting a new pump in. This well is probably... no good.
and this is why my former landlord told me not to drink out of the tap it was well water, that shit stunk and gave me heartburn. i thought wells were clean
Depends on where you live on the water quality of the well. I have a great aunt and uncle who their well water is likely like where you lived and had high sulfer content. Smelled like rotten eggs if you didn't filter it. My mother's well in North Carolina was a 300fter and that water was great, that red clay was a damn good filter and it came out cold and refreshing.
Never saw the bottom of a well before so thanks for your video.
This well is mighty deep 😮. Thanks for the video.
This is one of trippiest videos I’ve randomly come across 🗿
Was thinking the same thing
Wtf is up with my algorithm tonight?
"The Texans dug too greedily and too deep, but the Balrog couldn't fit through the well bore, so everything turned out okay."
"And they call it a mine...a MINE!"
Crazy that there's just ground water and MASSIVE underground caves under us everywhere at all times
Typically karst areas only, otherwise we drill to underground aquifers like porous bedrock past confining layers that hold water. Most are not underground caves but layers of porous substrate like sand and gravels, bedrock fractures
Cave update happened billion year's ago
Wrong, there are not caves everywhere under us. Think about tectonic action and how caves would naturally be crushed over time.
@ceoatcrystalsoft4942 or formed. Water erodes even under ground. Look at cave spelunking vids. Water just carves its way through.
@@ceoatcrystalsoft4942 There are caves every where. Here in Central Texas we have tons of them only and that only what we can see. Google karst.
That was pretty cool. Was really interesting to see the natural stone formations after the casing ended.
That's one heck of a selfie stick
That ended well.
Well done 👏
Well played good sir, well played
Oh well.
Bazinga
👏👏👏👏
Reminds me of that scene in Bill & Ted where they're falling to Hell but it takes so long they start playing 20 questions on the way down.
“If I die, you can have my Megadeth collection.”
I used to say that at times and no one knew what I was talking about.
Casing is broke about 100-150' down. It will let grout, sediment, contaminated water through..its at the 2 min mark in the vid
Best effort made, great video
Well, that was amazing
That was surprisingly rewarding to watch.. very cool.
At 2:20, how the hell is a plant growing down there???
Looks like a green tape
amazingo! there's couple of cave! sick
Liked it allot, what well pump have to go through 😮, I would have stopped and checked that green blockage on pvc 6”
Do you have a pic of how you fastened your camera to the downhole rig? I’d like to do the same for my old well, but don’t want to risk losing my camera.
That was cool as hell!
So much effort it too this great job!!
Deep hole. Also the water was so clear down there.
What's the green thing at 3:19 ? I'm assuming debris from up top or a piece of the casing.
Upon first glance, I thought it was a piece of plastic until I looked up what jade is.
@@blackout7028 That's makes sense.
it was a piece of tape
Imagine forgetting to hit record
if he had live feed above he could go further in.
Sal 😂
It looks like there's been some tectonic movement. Are you going to try to salvage it?
No looks like the aquifer is down. It may be time to drill another well.
I'm too claustrophobic for this shit
@@inkedtoo1097 i'm with ya started sweating watching this
darn lucky that all that bouncing around didn't take the camera off
Well casing is busted about 3/4 of the way down, needs either an inner sleeve or a new drilled well.
Thanks man it gives goosebumps
You know that scene in the Lord of the Rings, when Gandalf and the Balrog are falling and falling to the subterranean sea in the depths of Khazad-dûm?
all that dry filterpack. Mined aquifer or seasonal variation? Pump test time? The slots look as though cut with a circular saw as often done.
That aquifer looks depleted. What was the outcome?
In my village the ground water level is only just 10-20 foot so its incredible for me.
Where u at
Was wondering what the green and blue spots were on the walls while he was pulling the camera up
PVC casing? And it appears badly ruptured. Well casings in the NE are typically steel and about 50’ long. 100’ if you have a well driller who isn’t a gambler. And an aquifer that low would be a sign to move. Cool video tho.
This is likely in the hill country, given that it’s drilled into limestone. And I’ve worked on some wells that were 700 feet deep.
I live in the NE and mine is 450' steel casing. Holds about 600 gallons.
Exactly what I was thinking.

well done man
Entry to water @3:36
After drilling wells my whole life idk why I never thought to do this im gonna start doing it on every hole
Wonder what happened at 2:06? A bit of a disconnect.
Tectonic activity
Question, what was the purpose of going down there?
Was it just for curiosity or to check water levels or something else?
मज़ा आ गया देख कर।

Amazing
You are not supposed to mine straight down. Did minecraft teach us nothing!
😅😅 ya but there are no lava and empty space 😅
Very cool !!!
Who else got claustrophobia watching this video ???
I did. It got pretty scary mid way through.
Ja
There's a water-resistant balrog down there.
Well, glad I watched.
Amazing caves😂
Going down reminds me of sonic the hedgehog where you run around the track and collect rings
Where the last pringle is
Si tratta di un pozzo artesiano ad uso domestico?
All Well that Ends Well😵💫
U ever find fish or things in these aquafurs
I almost hypnotized 😂
What's the green thing at 2:18
2:00 bro hit a leaf...
2:20. Looks more like a piece of green plastic scrap.
I do this but with a 20k borehole camera but looking into coal mines for foundation design
It's a bore not a well...a very dry bore, that aquifer is depleted.
How was the pipe installed?
I’m a little confused, I thought the pvc was suppose to be submerged in the water. How do you guide the pump to the water?
Normally it is. This well has a low water level, maybe from drought.
No normally, the PVC extends to stable rock. In my area casing typically is only the first 60-80ft of a 200-foot well. Below that, the bedrock will be fractured, allowing water to flow.

Tôi tưởng tượng ra đáy riếng nhà tôi . Cảm ơn bạn .....
How does the water even comes from this much deep down well.
A small 5HP electric motor most likely.
All's well that ends well
1:13 Doctor Who Starring Tom Baker 😂
The second half of this video felt like being chased by a creeping darkness
Your turd’s POV as you’re rushing to the bathroom:
How pipe was missing in some place? Can any body tell me
That pipe has seen better days.
On another completely unrelated note, youtube algorithm strikes again!
I have never seen this much deep dry.😀 guys fill rain water in monsoon.

You should had put depth reading as it goes down till touching.
I can see Gold there take me in😮
Subject matter with deep content. Thanks UA-cam
I did not know that backwards hyperspace was possible.
There’s a huge space at the end
There are a lot of caves in this area.
@@andywende4189
How big? 100s of miles of underground caves with its vast network that can make a person lost easily.
good luck getting a pump down that thing.
Looks like an episode of "Curse of Oak Island".
This is better than Oak Island. This has some clear footage! 😂👍
Well, that was interesting
This reminded me of the intro to Dr.Who.
Pretty well
How to take the water?
You dangle a pump down there, with 300 feet worth of wiring to power it and 300 feet worth of piping to pipe the water back up.
However, it looks like the well here has experienced some tectonic movement and you'd probably have some trouble getting a new pump in. This well is probably... no good.
Ohh i see...dificult to get the water@@RabblerouserGT
omg thats deep.
300 feet, most wells in my area are at 400.
Well done
Very well...............
oil well right?
Water
D-did you see oil or water down there?
This is why "can't find the hole" jokes exist
and this is why my former landlord told me not to drink out of the tap it was well water, that shit stunk and gave me heartburn. i thought wells were clean
If you live in an area with a lot of fracking, I would not advise to drink well water either.
Depends on where you live on the water quality of the well. I have a great aunt and uncle who their well water is likely like where you lived and had high sulfer content. Smelled like rotten eggs if you didn't filter it.
My mother's well in North Carolina was a 300fter and that water was great, that red clay was a damn good filter and it came out cold and refreshing.
I'll bet it caused a moment or two of consternation every time the drill dropped into one of those smaller "caves" and dropped a foot or two.😕☹😮😮😮
3:12
Imagine you drop this all the way down, only to find a face smiling into the camera.
It’s like Downwell game😅
2:45 its now in a cave
Welletywelletywell
The planet getting a colonoscopy
Whoever drilled that well ought to be sued. 10-20 feet with no pipe? No gravel? You can see where the foot has been sitting stuck in the clay.
👍
tnx amezing
well well well what do we have here
My claustrophobic kicked in bad on this one! I got like sucked into the screen lol

Question what are those cut slits looks like 3 two on the top and one at the bottom they start pretty deep 2
When the water rises because of much rain or other cases, it can sink into the ground trough these cuts so it doesn‘t rise til the top of the pipe
Cool thanks
🤦 damn I should have realized that again thanks
It's to let water in from the aquifer, a pump is installed in the bore to pump the water out.
