Drilling for oil requires extensive planning and a good amount of capital to invest. The project will require you to work with contractors, financiers, land owners, geologists and engineers. The oil is found in the reservoir rock under the ground several hundred meters down. The most conventional conformation in which oil is found is called the folding movement where the earth has moved inward to form an upward fold. To find oil, geologists are hired who are experts in analyzing surface texture, features, soil types and core samples. The geologists also employ different high technology instruments for example, magnatometer, gravity meters, seismic instruments using shock wave technology, and statellite pictures to find flowing oil under the rocks of the Earth. When geologists determine a good site it is surveyed for boundaries and environmental studies. Lease is signed and the legal right to the land is obtained from the local authorities. A reserve pit is made for the debris coming ou
