the price of boring rises linearly with depth; bore axis with neutral floating; the possibility to make vertical or inclined bores up to 10 km deep; the possibility to make large diameter bores – even 5 times larger than on the ground compared to today drilling technologies; casing formed on site in the borehole
Today, most Earth drilling serves one of the following purposes: return samples of the soil and/or rock through which the drill passes; access rocks from which material can be extracted; access rocks which can then be measured; provide access to rock for purposes of providing engineering support

A part's-eye view of a boring bar. Hole types: Blind hole (left), through hole (middle), interrupted hole (right). In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools), such as in boring a gun barrel or an engine cylinder.
