Drill - Site Selection
The selection of the drill site
is based largely on the geological evidence indicating the possible
accumulation of petroleum. The exploration company will want
to drill the well at the best location for them and the easiest
to get out. Surface conditions, however, must also be taken into
consideration when selecting the drill site. There must be a
nearly level area of sufficient size on which to build the drilling
rig, excavate reserve pits, and provide storage for all of the
materials and equipment that will be required for the drilling
program. All of the required legal matters need to be taken care
of such as getting a drilling permit, surveying of the drill
site, and o on. When all of these things have been taken care
of the work on the site preparation can begin.
