NAICS Code(s) 213111 (Drilling Oil and Gas Wells)
These companies are used by drilling contractors to provide services in producing new wells and maintaining existing wells.
These oil companies must get their oil from either their oil wells , or they must get it from their oil rigs in the sea.
Onshore oil is a nickname for oil that is obtained through oil drilling that is completely on land, as opposed to offshore oil, which is collected from drilling under the seafloor with floating oil rigs.
Off-shore drilling is the search for and collection of oil lying in the ground under the relatively shallow waters of the continental shelf.
A pipeline is set up to get oil from wells to refineries.
The device used to extract oil and gas from the ground is called a "drilling rig" or "oil rig". It is a large structure equipped with machinery and equipment for drilling wells and extracting oil and gas from underground reservoirs.
A drilling engineer is responsible for the plans and costs associated with drilling gas and oil wells. They also help develop and supervise the operations.
These companies are used by drilling contractors to provide services in producing new wells and maintaining existing wells.
Drilling for natural gas is similar to drilling for oil, but gas must be liquefied before it can be shipped.
Fuel is extracted from the ground or seabed through drilling wells into underground reservoirs where oil or natural gas is trapped. Specialized equipment is used to pump the fuel to the surface where it can then be processed and refined for use. Offshore drilling platforms are also used to extract fuel from beneath the seabed.
An oil operator responsible for drilling wells is typically called a "drilling contractor." They are hired to execute the drilling operations at a specific location based on the requirements provided by the oil company.
The drilling of crude oil wells both on and off-shore uses the laying of pipes and drill bits. A modern method of drilling is hydraulic fracturing, or fracking which uses fluids to break up natural gas formations.
includes establishments primarily engaged in drilling wells for oil and gas field operations for others on a contract or fee basis. This industry includes contractors that specialize in spudding in, drilling in, redrilling, and directional drilling.
It is estimated that over 5 million oil and gas wells have been drilled worldwide since the mid-1800s when oil drilling began. However, this number may vary due to different sources and definitions of what constitutes a well.

There are approximately 175,000 active oil and gas wells in Oklahoma.
It generally depends on the price of oil and natural gas. When the price of oil/gas gets high, drilling for oil/gas generally increases thereafter. Oil and gas drilling has been growing in areas such as the northeast United States because of new discoveries and technology regarding shale gas.
