Water Well Service in Skellytown, Texas
Skellytown was born in the 1926 oil boom and named for Skelly Oil, and the country around it still works for a living: pumpjacks, cattle, and wheat in every direction. The private wells out here work just as hard, and Applewhite Water Well keeps them producing.
We serve Skellytown and northern Carson County with pump repair, windmill service, solar conversions, and stock water systems.
Well Country: What Makes Skellytown Different
Northern Carson County sits on solid Ogallala ground, and its wells are plains wells: real depth to water, submersible pumps doing heavy lifting, and windmills still holding down remote corners. Like the rest of the caprock, water levels here have drifted down over the decades, so pump settings that were right in 1990 can be marginal today. Low-yield symptoms often trace to that simple arithmetic.
Oil-patch history has a well-being footnote: older properties can carry abandoned boreholes of various vintages. When a new well goes in near legacy activity, siting and sealing get extra attention so your water stays clean and stays yours.
Between Skellytown, White Deer, and the Borger line, we handle household wells for oil-field families, stock systems for the ranches, and the pressure systems that tie them together.

Skellytown Well Service Questions
Do you serve Skellytown and White Deer?
Yes, both, along with the farms and ranches between them and the Borger line. Call 806-334-0785.
Why did my well weaken after years of good service?
On this part of the caprock, a falling water table is the first suspect. Often lowering the pump restores full service; we measure before recommending anything.
Can you convert an electric stock well to solar out here?
Yes, and remote Carson County pastures are strong candidates. We reuse the well and usually most of the plumbing.
Do you check wells near old oil-field sites?
We pay extra attention to siting and sealing near legacy activity, and we recommend water testing for any household well.
How do you schedule work this far west?
Skellytown runs pair with Pampa and Groom work, which keeps scheduling tight and travel efficient. Emergencies jump the queue.
