How is oil and natural gas extracted from the ground?

Oil and natural gas are extracted from the ground through drilling wells into underground reservoirs. Once the well is drilled, the oil or gas is brought to the surface using a combination of pressure, pumps, and other extraction methods. The extracted oil and gas is then processed to remove impurities before being transported for further refining or distribution.
