TOCA stands for Total Organic Carbon Analyzer, used in drilling operations to measure the amount of organic carbon in drilling fluids or cuttings. By analyzing the TOCA values, drilling engineers can monitor the presence of hydrocarbons, evaluate drilling fluid performance, and ensure environmental compliance during drilling activities.
If there are natural fractures in a reservior & there is a risk of too much loss circulation of drilling fluid then we go for blind drilling where drill cuttings are deposited on fractures & fill them to avoid loss circulation during drilling to getting good production. efhim.ru
Oil is retrieved through drilling wells into the Earth's crust, reaching underground reservoirs that contain the oil. Once the well is drilled and the oil is reached, it is then pumped to the surface using specialized equipment. The oil is then processed and refined for various uses.
Crude oil is obtained by drilling down into the ground to an oil well. The oil is then pumped out of the ground and put into barrels. The barrels of oil are then sent to a plant where it is processed into different products for consumer use.
THE DRILLING MUD FLUID IS HAVE MANY FUNCTION IN OIL WELL DRILLING LIKE (a) to lift the cutting, (b) to give cooling effect of bit (c) control the wellbore pressure (d) act as a lubricater (e) hole stabilizer etc. The main functions of drilling fluids include providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limit corrosion.
The deepest oil well in Montana is approximately 25,000 feet deep. This depth allows for drilling into multiple underground rock layers to access oil reserves.

There is not much information about where Oil well drilling occurs but some well known cities are in Dallas Texas, Mexico, Ontario. One can find more information on the process of oil well drilling among other information on Wikipedia.

Answer is Spud
Yes. BP has to apply for and be approved for every drilling permit.
