Summary

Both ‘shallow’ and ‘deep’ drilling is a field that extends either directly or indirectly into many other fields, making it important and necessary for a wide range of technical activity. The main function of drilling lies in its cooperation on mining activities, in the exploration of mineral deposits, where it is the main component of the exploration technique and in the extraction itself, when it takes over the function of mining works. The extraction of oil, natural gas and, in part, the extraction of groundwater is unthinkable without deep-water drilling.
For these purposes, drilling is carried out both from the ground and from mining works. Other fields where deep drilling is now widely used are mainly construction, where an increase in drilling is particularly noticeable, both in quantitative and qualitative terms (construction, injection, anchor, etc.) as well as water management. In the last period, the development of drilling is also evident in energy (drilling for heat pumps and others).
