Could ground water gush out strongly to surface through 400m drilling pipes?

That would depend on the pressure of the groundwater in the aquifer. If the hydraulic head level (another way of describing water pressure) was higher than the Earth's surface at that point, then the water could indeed flow up the drill pipes.

What are the 3 different ways ground water reach the surface?

How do you get the fuel out the ground or the seabed?
Drilling oil and gas wells and hydraulic fracturing
Were do you get crude oil from and how do you extract it?
It comes from underground and we extract it by drilling a hole then by pumping it out of the ground
What two methods are used to remove rocks and minerals from the ground?
mining and blasting and maybe drilling
What is the correct term for moisture that falls to the ground?
Infiltration describes the movement of moisture from the surface into the ground. Percolation is the word used to describe the movement of a fluid through a porous and permeable medium such as soil.
What are some problems with geothermal power?
It's not really a problem, per se, but the challenge with geothermal power is that it requires drilling to a geothermal heat source. Since drilling is expensive, geothermal power is most cost-effective in locations where geothermal heat sources are close to the surface and/or the ground is relatively easy to drill through.
What forms If enough water pressure builds under the surface of the ground and the water can burst through cracks in the surface?
If enough water pressure build under the surface of the ground, the water can burst through cracks in the surface forming a geyser.

How are fossil fuels retrieved from the earth?
Drilling into the ground, mining.

How is oil extracted from the earth?
Oil is extracted from the ground by drilling down hundreds of feet into the earth. Once a discovery is located, a pipe is inserted through which the oil ascends to ground level and is captured into containment areas
Where did the idea of Oil Drilling come from?
The fact that oil is under ground.
Groundwater and surface water?
i think that when the water reaches the surface, it dissolves into the ground which is called infiltration (the movement of water through soil) which then flows down from the tiny spaces in the bedrock and then it forms into a ground water, which is then released into and ocean or a lake.
