3. Magnetostratigraphy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostratigraphy

   Oriented paleomagnetic samples are collected in the field using a rock core drill, or as hand samples (chunks broken off the rock face). To average out sampling errors, a minimum of three samples is taken from each sample site. [11] Spacing of the sample sites within a stratigraphic section depends on the rate of deposition and the age of the ...

   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.

   In addition two coal drilling programs by the NSW Department of Industry, designed to help define the limits of the basin, have resulted in wide-spaced drilling coverage over most of the basin. Petroleum exploration within the basin has been minimal, consisting of a small number of geophysical surveys and two stratigraphic wells.

   A well control company then will need to extinguish the well fire or cap the well, and replace the casing head and other surface equipment. If the flowing gas contains poisonous hydrogen sulfide , the oil operator might decide to ignite the stream to convert this to less hazardous substances.

8. Drill bit (well) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_(well)

   Regardless of type, drill bits must satisfy two primary design goals: maximize the rate of penetration (ROP) of the formation and provide a long service life. The reason for this is a direct consequence of the rotary drilling method. Modern oilfield drilling operations require substantial capital and operating expense.

9. Directional drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_drilling

   Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical bores. It can be broken down into four main groups: oilfield directional drilling, utility installation directional drilling, directional boring (horizontal directional drilling - HDD), and surface in seam (SIS), which horizontally intersects a vertical bore ...
