wellbore
A wellbore is a drilled hole in the earth created to access subsurface resources such as oil, gas, or groundwater. It’s constructed using specialized drill bits and equipment, often lined with casing to maintain its structural integrity and prevent leaks. The wellbore allows operators to monitor, produce, or inject fluids into underground formations. Essentially, it serves as a channel connecting the surface to underground reservoirs, enabling resource extraction or groundwater management safely and efficiently.
