Q: What are the advantages of air drilling?

Drilling a water well with an air drill in the Wichita area is an under-balanced situation versus using drilling mud which produces an overbalanced situation in the borehole.  The pressures created in the borehole while using air are less than the natural formation pressure.  By not filling the surrounding formation of the borehole with heavy drill mud a water well drilled with air develops quicker, produces a cleaner and more efficient well that lasts longer.
