Drill bits are the cutting tools of drilling machines. They can be made in any size to order, but standards organizations have defined sets of sizes that...

Directional drilling (or slant drilling) is the practice of drilling non-vertical bores. It can be broken down into four main groups: oilfield directional...

Deep hole drilling is considered deep in comparison to other hole drilling techniques such as centre hole drilling. DHD involves drilling a hole through...

The process of modern drilling for wells first started in the 19th century but was made more efficient with advances to oil drilling rigs and technology...
