Oil is extracted from the ground through a process called drilling. A drill is used to create a well into the underground reservoir of oil. Once the well is drilled, the pressure from the reservoir forces the oil to the surface where it can be collected. Pump jacks are sometimes used to help bring the oil to the surface.
