Drilling

Drilling is a process used to create holes in the ground, typically to access underground resources like oil, gas, minerals, or water. It involves the use of a specialized machine called a drill rig, which employs a rotating drill bit to cut through rock and soil layers. The drilled material is removed via drilling mud or other methods, allowing for deeper exploration or extraction. Drilling is essential in energy, mining, and construction industries, enabling efficient resource discovery, development, and infrastructure placement while ensuring safety and environmental considerations are maintained.
