Live drilling a WELL!

What happens here

The drilling rig is powered down, and the drilling stops. Workers begin the process of uncoupling and removing the drill pipe sections. This involves clamping the pipe, unscrewing sections, and hoisting them away from the well bore. The first section of white PVC well casing is also introduced and carefully lowered into the ground.

Goal: Retrieve drilling tools and begin installing the permanent well casing.
