Oil Well

An oil well is a drilled hole in the Earth's surface designed to extract petroleum from underground reservoirs. Once drilled, the well allows oil to flow to the surface, where it can be collected and processed. The process involves identifying underground oil-rich rock layers, drilling through layers of earth and rock, and using pumps or natural pressure to bring the oil up. Oil wells can vary in size and complexity, but their primary purpose is to access and recover valuable hydrocarbons that are used to produce fuels, plastics, and other products.
