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"

How is petroleum moved to the surface?

Petroleum is moved to the surface through a process called drilling. A drilling rig is used to create a wellbore that reaches the underground petroleum reservoir. Once the wellbore is completed, the oil can flow up to the surface due to the natural pressure in the reservoir. Sometimes, artificial lift methods like pumps are used to bring the oil to the surface if the reservoir pressure is not enough.
