Surface to down hole communication is typically done via changes to drilling parameters, i . e ., change of the rotation speed of the drill string or change of the mud flow rate.

The upper portion of the severed drill string is freed from the ram, while the lower portion may be crimped and the fish tail captured to hang the drill string off the BOP.

Since the drill string must be raised and lowered to advance the boring, the casing ( larger diameter outer piping ) is typically used to hold back upper soil materials and stabilize the borehole.

In the 1970s, oil and gas exploration in deeper waters required improved underwater positioning accuracy to place drill strings into the exact position referenced earlier thorough seismic instrumentation and to perform other underwater construction tasks.
46.
On a drilling rig, mud is pumped from the " mud pits " through the drill string where it sprays out of nozzles on the drill bit, cleaning and cooling the drill bit in the process.

Usually, when something is lost ( breaks off ) in the hole, it is not the drill string, but rather from the bit, hammer, or stabilizer to the bottom of the drill string ( bit ).

Also known as ballistic well drilling and sometimes called " spudders ", these rigs raise and drop a drill string with a heavy carbide tipped drilling bit that chisels through the rock by finely pulverizing the subsurface materials.
50.
The well is created by drilling a hole 12 cm to 1 meter ( 5 in to 40 in ) in diameter into the earth with a drilling rig that rotates a drill string with a bit attached.
