Decades of Drilling Expertise in the Pacific Northwest

The Cobalt Drilling Story

Founded by Justin Egeland in 2021, Cobalt Drilling is the culmination of over 20 years of hands-on industry experience. Justin’s journey in the drilling world began in 2002, working his way from a general laborer to a Lead Driller and Supervisor. Throughout his career, he has mastered complex projects ranging from Hanford site clean-up efforts and seismic drilling to residential water well installation and maintenance.

Justin’s philosophy is simple: never stop learning. By combining two decades of mentorship from industry veterans with a drive to overcome modern geological challenges, he has built Cobalt Drilling into a company that prioritizes technical precision and family-focused values. When you work with us, you’re working with a team that has seen—and solved—it all.
