They drill for oil. Oil collects in porous rock like sandstone or shale. So they drill down until they reach the porous rock and the oil will collect at the bottom of the well and can be forced to the surface to be collected. If the oil is reluctant to flow then it can be encouraged with water or gas pressure by pumping water or gas into the rock. Also the porous rock can be fragmented by chemicals (or even explosives) to encourage flow. Any water mixed with the oil is separated out before it is sold.
How much money is a big chunk of limestone worth?
Limestone is not a valuable material, I'm afraid. If your "big chunk" is big enough to start a mine, and there's high demand for building material or crushed stone in your area, you could be in the money. Talk to stone masons, garden supply centres, or local quarries to determine the going price per ton in your area.
