Wellsite Clearing TexasOil & Gas Pad Site Preparation

Wellsite clearing in Texas typically costs $8,000-$25,000 for a standard 3-5 acre drill pad, depending on vegetation density and terrain. Light brush/grassland: $8,000-$12,000. Moderate brush: $12,000-$18,000. Heavy mesquite/cedar with root removal: $18,000-$25,000+. Larger sites (compressor stations, etc.) are priced per acre. We provide detailed quotes for each location.

A standard 3-5 acre drill pad can typically be cleared in 2-5 days depending on vegetation. Light brush: 2-3 days. Moderate brush: 3-4 days. Heavy brush with stumping: 4-5 days. We understand drilling schedules and can mobilize quickly to meet spud dates. For urgent projects, we can deploy multiple crews.

Yes, we provide rough grading as part of our standard wellsite clearing package. This includes leveling the pad area to approximate final grade, establishing basic drainage, and ensuring the site is ready for final grade by your construction contractor. For final engineered grade, we work with construction companies who specialize in pad completion.

We serve wellsite projects throughout Texas, with extensive experience in the Permian Basin (Midland/Odessa), Eagle Ford Shale (South Texas), Barnett Shale (DFW area), and Haynesville (East Texas). We also handle projects in the Anadarko Basin (Panhandle) and other producing areas. Contact us with your location for availability and scheduling.

Yes, we frequently clear lease roads in conjunction with wellsite work. Access road clearing includes vegetation removal, rough grading, and often initial caliche/gravel base preparation. We can clear from county road to pad location, including any pipeline crossings or difficult terrain sections.

We work with both. Oil & gas operators contract us directly for location clearing, and we also work with landowners who are preparing their property for energy development. For surface owner work, we can clear per operator specifications or work with you on general site preparation ahead of lease activity.
