What tools is used to dig oil wells?
Oil wells are made using a drill. A diamond/carbide embedded drill bit is attached to the end of lengths of hollow pipe which are rotated on the drilling platform and tower called a 'derrick'. Drilling mud is pumped down the drill pipe and out of nozzles in the drill bit to steer the drill and to flush debris out of the drilled hole. The weight and properties of the drilling mud are very important if you are to prevent blowouts such as that which happened in the Gulf recently.
How do they drill horizontal oil wells?
Horizontal drilling involves starting with a vertical wellbore and then gradually turning the drill bit sideways to drill horizontally into the target formation. This process allows for increased exposure to the reservoir, maximizing production and recovery of oil and gas. Specialized tools and techniques are used to control the direction and angle of the drill bit as it penetrates the reservoir horizontally.
