Oil Well Drilling

Oil well drilling is the process of creating a hole in the ground to extract oil from underground reservoirs. It begins with selecting a site and drilling a borehole using a drill bit attached to a long, rotating pipe. As the drill goes deeper, special fluids are circulated to cool the drill bit and bring rock cuttings to the surface. Once oil is reached, it can be pumped to the surface. The process involves careful planning, engineering, and safety measures to minimize environmental impact and ensure the well's stability during extraction.
