Borehole drilling is the drilling of a narrow shaft into the Earths surface, they're constructed for a range of different purposes such as the extraction of water or other liquids such as oil, and also natural gases.
They're often drilled also as part of a geotechnical investigations and environmental site assessments.
Hundreds of years ago it was carried out by sheer brute force using a rod that was called a bore. Nowadays though we have borehole drilling rigs that are capable of drilling to much greater depths.

What does a drilling contractor do?
ResponsibilitiesI am a drilling contractor and am working on this field for many years .I am owning a Sydney based drilling and boring company named AV Drilling . So i can explain you from my own experience. It is the responsibility of the Drilling Contractor to drill the well to the correct program specifications and to provide a well bore that is 'fit for purpose', subject to the terms of the contract. The Drilling Contractor shall not compromise safety or well integrity in order to reach the drilling objectives. A drilling Contractor develops, plans, costs and supervises the operations necessary for drilling oil and gas wells. They are involved from the initial well design to testing, completion and abandonment.Drilling Contractor work with other professionals, such as geologists and scientists.

What are the method of Borehole survey?
Borehole surveys can be conducted using various methods including downhole logging tools, such as gamma ray, resistivity, neutron porosity, and sonic tools. These tools are lowered down the borehole and provide data on the properties of the rock formations. Another method is borehole camera surveys, where a camera is deployed down the borehole to visually inspect the borehole wall and any potential issues. Sampling and core analysis are also common methods to gather geological and geotechnical information from boreholes.
When was the kola superdeep borehole dug?
The Kola Superdeep Borehole was begun in 1970 and finished in 1992. It reached 12,262 meters deep. Work ceased due to the difficulties of drilling in extreme temperatures (~300 degrees Celsius) and lack of funding.

Can you explain what a borehole log is?
A borehole geophysical log is the science of recording and analysing measurements of physical properties made in wells or test holes. Borehole Geophysical logs provide a borehole record of the lithology, fractures, permeability, porosity and water quality.
What is filter loss mud cake?
Filter loss refers to the amount of drilling fluid lost into the formation while drilling a well. Mud cake is the layer of filter cake residue that forms on the borehole wall when drilling fluid is filtered into the formation. Filter loss mud cake is the specific term used to describe the formation of a mud cake due to filter loss during drilling operations.
Furtherest depth someone has dug down into the Earth's crust?
The Kola Superdeep Borehole in the former USSR reached a depth of 12262 meters (40230 feet) in 1989, at which point drilling had to be abandoned because of the extremely high temperatures.
