The average height of a normal drilling rig is about 125ft, which is equivalent to a 10 or 11 storey building or around two-fifths the size of the clock tower of Big Ben. If a well needs it, the next stage of testing is the perforation and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) of the well to release the shale gas.
A rig 300 miles out at sea can steer a drill down five miles, out five miles, and come within a couple of inches of the bullseye. In short, it means there is virtually no chance of drilling a dry well; oil companies had a 99 per cent success rate in 2011. Companies are drilling deeper than ever before, too.
