Rotary Drilling

Rotary drilling is a method used to create deep holes in the ground, typically for extracting oil, gas, or minerals. It involves a rotating drill bit attached to a drill pipe that cuts into the earth's layers. As the drill spins, drilling mud is circulated down the pipe and back up to remove cuttings and cool the equipment. This continuous process allows engineers to reach underground reservoirs or resources efficiently. Rotary drilling is a fundamental technique in energy and mining industries, providing access to subsurface materials through precise, controlled excavation.
