If the oil is located in shallow water‚ the rig will be built on ships or barges. Oil Drilling Preparation 1. The land must be cleared and levelled‚ roads may be built to optimise access. 2. Drilling is very water intensive‚ so there must be a source of water nearby. 3. A reserve pit must be dug‚ to dispose of the rock cuttings and mud. After the oil has been recovered
