What tools is used to dig oil wells?

Oil wells are made using a drill. A diamond/carbide embedded drill bit is attached to the end of lengths of hollow pipe which are rotated on the drilling platform and tower called a 'derrick'. Drilling mud is pumped down the drill pipe and out of nozzles in the drill bit to steer the drill and to flush debris out of the drilled hole.
