What is a borehole?

A borehole (aka a drilled well) is simply a narrow hole drilled into the ground, typically used to extract natural resources beneath the surface.

Some boreholes are used to collect oil or natural gas, while others are water boreholes (aka waterwell boreholes); used to collect (or ‘abstract’) fresh water from the ground.
