Oil & Gas Drilling Contractor

Drilling is at the heart of oil and gas extraction, and getting involved in the oil and gas exploration industry means getting involved with the right oil and gas drilling company. When it comes to oil and gas drilling operations, you want to find oil and gas drilling contractors with the tools and the expertise to maximize your oil or gas exploration investment.

Although the practice of successfully drilling for oil is complicated, the concept is quite simple. Locate an area known or thought to be highly likely to be a spot where oil is underneath the ground, apply the oil rig, start drilling, laying pipe as you go, until you access a reserve of oil.

While both types of drilling are hydrocarbon drilling, natural gas drilling is a little trickier, since, in the case of natural gas, you will find the material you need actually contained within the rock, and your drilling efforts must include breaking open the rock to release the gas and capturing it before it escapes.

The typical method for doing this is by drilling to the rock in question, lining the hole with a material that will prevent the gas from escaping, then sending charges down the hole and detonating them, followed by sending a liquid solution down that forces the gas up to where it can be captured for processing.

As you might guess, a lot can go wrong with this operation if procedures are not strictly followed, which is why you must have an experienced drill team when drilling for natural gas.
