  2. Well drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_drilling

    Well drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground for the extraction of a natural resource such as ground water, brine, natural gas, or petroleum, for the injection of a fluid from surface to a subsurface reservoir or for subsurface formations evaluation or monitoring.

  3. Casing (borehole) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_(borehole)

    Casing that is cemented in place aids the drilling process in several ways: [2] Prevents contamination of fresh water well zones. Prevents unstable upper formations from caving in and sticking the drill string or forming large caverns. Provides a strong upper foundation to allow use of high-density drilling fluid to continue drilling deeper.

  4. Drilling rig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_rig

    An automated drill rig (ADR) is an automated full-sized walking land-based drill rig that drills long lateral sections in horizontal wells for the oil and gas industry. [8] ADRs are agile rigs that can move from pad to pad to new well sites faster than other full-sized drilling rigs. Each rig costs about $25 million.

  5. Drilling fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid

    In geotechnical engineering, drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth. Used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs, drilling fluids are also used for much simpler boreholes, such as water wells. The two main categories of drilling fluids are water ...

  6. Borehole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borehole

    Drilling for boreholes was time-consuming and long. As the depth of the holes varied, the drilling of a single well could last nearly one full decade. [4] It was not up until the 19th century that Europe and the West would catch up and rival ancient Chinese borehole drilling technology. [10] [5]

  7. Baptist well drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptist_well_drilling

    Baptist well drilling diagram in Spanish. Baptist well drilling is a very simple, manual method to drill water wells. The Baptist drilling rig can be built in any ordinary arc welding workshop and materials for a basic version costs about 150 US dollars (2006 prices). In suitable conditions, boreholes over 100 m deep have been drilled with this ...

  8. Borehole mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borehole_mining

    Borehole Mining (BHM) is a remote operated method of extraction (mining) of mineral resources through boreholes based on in-situ conversion of ores into a mobile form (slurry) by means of high pressure water jetting (hydraulicking). This process is carried-out from a land surface, open pit floor, underground mine or floating vessel through pre ...

  9. Drill cuttings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_cuttings

    Drill cuttings [1] are broken bits of solid material removed from a borehole drilled by rotary, percussion, or auger methods and brought to the surface in the drilling mud. Boreholes drilled in this way include oil or gas wells , water wells , and holes drilled for geotechnical investigations or mineral exploration.
