PWD in Jacksonville(1934)

Partridge Well Drilling (PWD) was established in 1892. At that time drilling rigs had masts that were made of wood. They were assembled and disassembled for each job and mobilized from site to site on a horse drawn wagon. Power was from steam. Since 1892, PWD  has encompassed six generations of the same family. PWD’s current president, Pat Partridge, is the fifth generation to manage the company. Utilizing the most advanced equipment and safest drilling procedures available has helped us to achieve our goals of providing quality performance and sustaining a solid register of satisfied clients. PWD has constructed thousands of wells, for many different uses, including, but not limited to:
