O'KEEFE DRILLING COMPANY, INC.

O’Keefe Drilling Company, Inc. specializes in the design and execution of potable water well drilling operations using directional and conventional drilling techniques. Their core capabilities center on subsurface water resource development, including the installation of casing, screen systems, and wellhead assemblies compliant with EPA and state drinking water standards. The company applies geotechnical site assessment methods to determine optimal borehole locations, employs high-pressure mud circulation for stable borehole integrity, and installs gravel-packed well systems to maximize aquifer yield while minimizing sediment intrusion. Their technical expertise includes drilling through complex geological strata, including fractured bedrock and alluvial deposits, with precision to meet potable water quality specifications. A key differentiator is their ability to deliver reliable, on-site water infrastructure in remote or rugged terrain, ensuring compliance with public health and environmental regulations without reliance on centralized distribution networks. The contractor has demonstrated direct experience working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, delivering critical water well infrastructure to support rural and agricultural communities. This relationship reflects a focus on USDA programs aimed at enhancing water security in underserved areas, particularly in the western United States. O’Keefe Drilling’s primary industry focus is in NAICS 237110, which encompasses the construction of water and sewer line systems, with a distinct specialization in standalone drinking water well construction. This positions them as a niche provider within the broader water infrastructure market, serving isolated facilities, tribal lands, and rural public utilities where centralized systems are impractical. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Butte, Montana, O’Keefe Drilling operates with a lean, field-focused model suited to regional government contracts. While currently holding no formal government certifications, their geographic presence in the Northern Rockies enables responsive service to federal and state agencies requiring on-location water well solutions in challenging topographies.
