Drill oil wells is called cable-tool or percussion drilling. A hole is punched into the ground by a heavy cutting tool called a bit that is attached to a cable and pulley system. The cable hangs from the top of a four-legged framework tower called a derrick (The steel tower on a drilling rig or platform that is tall enough to store at least three lengths of 30-foot (9-meter) drill pipe.) The cable raises and drops the drill bit over and over again, shattering the rock into small pieces or cuttings. Periodically, those cuttings have to be wetted down and bailed out of the hole.
