An oil well is a hole dug into the Earth that serves the purpose of bringing oil or other hydrocarbons - such as natural gas to the surface. Oil wells almost always produce some natural gas and frequently bring water up with the other petroleum products. To drill a well, a specialized piece of equipment known as a drilling rig bores a hole through many layers of dirt and rock until it reaches the oil and gas reservoir where the...
