No...what in the world would possess a man to think that explosives would be safe to use on an oil well. The proper way to drill an oil well would be to use a "Drill Bit" followed by a series of tools and special pipe to make up the "Bottom hole assembly" or the BHA. As the bit drills deeper a series of pipe are added to the top of the drilling pipe, these are call "Drill Pipe"
