| Description: | Photograph of the drill floor on the survey vessel MV Whitethorn during exploratory drilling by the British Geological Survey. The drill pipe runs through the drill floor through the water column and into the sea floor. There are various methods of drilling, ranging from pile driving to rotary drilling. Drilling is used throughout the oil and minerals industry for collecting samples from deep beneath the surface. The samples are analysed on return from the surface. |
