Keep the numbers consistent
Depths, diameters, and seal intervals appear on the diagram, in schedules, in the specification, and on the application. One edit rarely reaches all four.
Well construction plan review
Check the well plan against itself before it goes to the agency
Groundbook AI compares the well construction diagram, casing and seal schedules, site plan, specifications, permit application, and the well standards you upload, then flags where they disagree.
- Water supply wells
- Monitoring wells
- Geothermal wells
- Oil and gas wells
- Test and exploratory wells
- Well destruction plans
Pay as you go. Project reviews start at $100.
Well construction plan review software, as Groundbook provides it, is a document review. It reads the well construction diagram, casing and screen schedule, seal and grout details, site plan, specifications, permit application, and the state or county well standards you upload, and returns potential inconsistencies and omissions with the page each one came from. It is not drilling design or simulation software: it does not size casing, design cement, or model pressure windows.
Follow the well from surface to depthCompare borehole diameters, casing, screens, seals, grout, and depths across the diagram, schedules, and text.
Connect the site to the wellReview well locations, setbacks, sanitary hazards, access, and existing wells across the site plan and application.
Apply the standards you uploadCheck the plan against state and county well standards, owner criteria, or API references included in the review.
Built for well construction projects
A broader first pass across the documents that define the project
Use Groundbook AI at a design, permit, bid, construction, or turnover milestone to investigate possible issues while the team can still resolve them.
Match the plan to the governing standard
State and county well standards set minimum seal depths, setbacks, and materials that the plan has to reflect, and the applicable edition varies by jurisdiction.
Answer the agency's questions once
Reviewers return plans for missing or inconsistent information. Finding it before submittal shortens the permit cycle.
What Groundbook AI checks
Review criteria shaped around well construction work
Choose the documents and checks that match the project. Groundbook AI returns structured findings with exact source references for qualified review.
Well diagram and schedule consistency
Compare borehole diameters, casing and screen sizes, materials, depths, seal and grout intervals, and total depth across the diagram, schedules, and notes.
Site plan and application agreement
Cross-check well locations, setbacks to property lines and sanitary hazards, existing and proposed wells, and access against the permit application.
Specification and material references
Review casing, screen, grout, and sealing material specifications against what the diagram and schedules show, including the standards they cite.
Standards and checklist review
Apply uploaded state or county well standards, owner criteria, API references, or an agency checklist to the plan and flag potential gaps for professional review.
A simple review workflow
Fit more coverage into the review process you already have
Upload the project set
Add drawings, specifications, consultant documents, checklists, owner criteria, and uploaded code sources.
Choose the checks
Select cross-file, drawing-to-spec, checklist, and uploaded code-source comparisons that match the milestone.
Verify with the team
Open findings with their supporting evidence, confirm the issue, and route the right items for action.
AI-assisted, professional-led
Well design and approval stay with licensed professionals and the agency
Groundbook AI compares the documents you upload. It does not design casing or cement programs, calculate hydraulics or pressure windows, evaluate hydrogeology, certify compliance, or replace the permitting agency's review.
- Evidence linked to every possible finding
- Severity, discipline, impact, and recommended action
- Results typically ready in 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on project size

Questions, answered
What well construction teams ask
Is this drilling design or well planning software?
No. Drilling design tools size casing, design cement, and model pressure windows. Groundbook reviews the documents that describe the well and flags where they disagree with each other or with the standards you upload.
Which documents should we include?
The well construction diagram or cross-section, casing and screen schedules, seal and grout details, the site plan, specifications, the permit application, and any hydrogeologic or geotechnical report. Add the state or county well standards and any agency checklist as reference documents.
Does it check compliance with state well standards?
It compares the plan with the standards you upload and returns potential questions with the source pages. Confirming which standard and edition applies, and whether the plan complies, remains with the licensed professional and the permitting agency.
Has Groundbook reviewed well construction plans before?
Groundbook's published examples are building and infrastructure sets. Well construction plans go through the same document comparison. Eligible new customers get a first project free, so you can judge the findings on your own plan before paying for a review.
Does it work for oil and gas wells as well as water wells?
Yes, as a document review. Include the casing and cementing program, wellbore schematic, wellhead and surface equipment drawings, and the regulatory or API references you want compared.
