Steel pipe varies in weight according to size and thickness (schedule).
Conventional Drilling is the drilling of a vertical well through reservoir rocks to TD. Directional drilling is the drilling of a non-vertical well horizontaly through a source rock.
Petroleum is extracted by different processes. 1. Drilling 2. Well Completion 3. Production System and facility design (Plant) 4. Storage or Shipment Drilling: It is first process in the petroleum extraction. The drilling is same like drilling for orifice in the wall, but it is large in scale. The machine that drill the well is called as " Drilling rig". The drilling rig has main four function. a. Rig Power System: Either by diesel engines or by electric engines b. Hoisting System: c. Circulating System d. Rotary system e. Well control system: By BOPs, like Pipe Ram, Annular Preventor, and Shear Ram etc. f. Well monitoring System:
An drilling engineer may have many responsibilities. His work day may vary depending on the well or wells that need to be drilled. Generally, drilling engineers work in teams, with other engineers involved in the planning and the actual drilling of wells. No matter how much planning goes into drilling a well, every well is unique and has new challenges. So a drilling engineer is always learning how to drill a well better and safely. So, what activity can I say a drilling engineer does every day, is to communicate with others, to learn from past experiences and be prepared always for unexpected events.
The four main systems of a drilling rig are the drilling system, power system, circulating system, and well control system. The drilling system includes components for drilling the well, such as the drill bit and drilling string. The power system provides the necessary energy to operate the rig, including engines and generators. The circulating system manages the flow of drilling fluid, while the well control system ensures safety by managing pressure and preventing blowouts.

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"
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.

I think you are asking why doesn't ocean water go down the well made by a drilling rig or why doesn't the ocean water splash over the rig. The drilling rig used is in deepwater drilling is a semi-submersible, meaning that part of the rig is under water. But where the people work is pretty high off the water, as much as 75' above the water. Now, the well must be constructed so water from the ocean can not enter the well, and that oil found miles below the sea floor and under high pressure, does not enter the well. There drill pipe with a bit on the end that turns and makes a hole in the sea floor. But this drill pipe from the rig floor to the ocean bottom is inside another pipe called a marine riser. The marine riser keeps the ocean water from coming inside the well. The well must be designed so oil doesn't come into the well. As the well is drilled, the driller will circulate a heavy drilling mud, to prevent oil and gas from coming into the well. Also, they will cement in casing (basically large pipes) to keep oil and gas from entering the well. A well may have several pipes, one inside the other, used to seal the well from the formation as drilling progresses. See related link.
well if he can finish it he will weigh about 523kg

There are many things to consider when drilling a water well. Here are a few questions to ask yourself. 1. How much is a typical well in my area? Neighbors are a great resource and local well drilling companies. 2. Is public water available? Is it cheap and readily accessible? 3. Is my well drilling contractor licensed and insured? 4. What type of demand do I need, how much GPM? 5. What kind of pressure do I need, how much PSI? 6. Is there possible contaminants in my aquifer? If so, what type of water system will be needed? They can be very costly. Hope this helps. For residential wells, local drillers are better. They know the area and are familiar with the drilling.
You drill it! You drill it really hard! You'll need a really long pipe to drill it with... a long and fat pipe. You just stick the pipe in the hole and drill it until the stuff comes out and then you should be satisfied!

He's this tall and weighs that much.
