Consequently, a geological survey of the underground rock structure must be carried out . If it is thought that the rocks in a certain area contain oil, a “drilling rig ’’ is assembled. The most obvious part of a drilling rig is called “ a derrick”. It is used to lift sections of pipe, which are lowered into the hole made by a drill. As the hole is being drilled, a steel pipe is pushed down to prevent the sides from falling in. If oil is struck , a cover is firmly fixed to the top of the pipe and the oil is allowed to escape through a series of valves.
