  2. Earth auger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Auger

    A skid-steer loader with an earth auger attachment. Construction drill auger. Hand-powered earth augers are typically used to plant saplings and trees or to set up posts for fences or other ends. [7] Large mechanized earth augers, called drilling rigs, are used to make holes for piles destined to be deep foundations or retaining wall. [citation ...

  3. Drilling rig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_rig

    There are different auger drilling methods, including hand auger drilling and hollow stem auger drilling. Hand auger drilling is a cost-effective method that's often used in areas with shallow soil, but it can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Hollow stem auger drilling uses a large, hollow auger that removes soil as it drills. Auger ...

  4. Well drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_drilling

    Well drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground for the extraction of a natural resource such as ground water, brine, natural gas, or petroleum, for the injection of a fluid from surface to a subsurface reservoir or for subsurface formations evaluation or monitoring.

  5. Drill cuttings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_cuttings

    Drill cuttings can be separated from liquid drilling fluid by shale shakers, by centrifuges, or by cyclone separators, the latter also being effective for air drilling. In cable-tool drilling, the drill cuttings are periodically bailed out of the bottom of the hole. In auger drilling, cuttings are carried to the surface on the auger flights.

  6. Well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well

    A well-digging team digs under a cutting ring and the well column slowly sinks into the aquifer, whilst protecting the team from collapse of the well bore. Hand-dug wells are inexpensive and low tech (compared to drilling) and they use mostly manual labour to access groundwater in rural locations of developing countries.

  7. Ice drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_drilling

    Augers have long been used for drilling through ice for ice fishing. Augers can be rotated by hand, using a mechanism such as a T handle or a brace bit, or by attaching them to powered hand drills. [70] Scientific uses for non-coring augers include sensor installation and determining ice thickness.
