undersea drilling

Undersea drilling involves extracting oil and natural gas from beneath the ocean floor. Specialized equipment, like ships and underwater rigs, is used to drill deep into the seabed through pipes called drill strings. As the drill bit penetrates the earth, it brings up rock and fluid samples, helping companies locate resources. Once a deposit is found, continuous drilling and casing are used to create a stable well for extracting these resources. This process allows access to energy sources deep beneath the ocean, essential for global supplies, while requiring strict safety measures to prevent environmental impacts.
