Steel has a wide range of applications in the field of oil extraction, mainly in the following areas:

1. Drilling equipment: oil extraction usually requires the use of drilling equipment for exploration and extraction operations. Drill pipes, drill bits and other components of drilling equipment are usually made of high-strength steel to meet the needs of deep-well drilling and to withstand the challenges of high pressure, high temperature and harsh environments.

2. Pipelines and Tubing: After oil is extracted from the field, it needs to be transported through pipelines to processing plants or storage facilities. These pipelines and lines for oil and gas transmission are usually made of steel, as steel has good resistance to pressure, corrosion and high temperatures to ensure the safe delivery of oil.

3. Oil well equipment and structures: Inside the oil field, it is necessary to build oil wells and corresponding equipment and structures, such as pumping rods, pumps, pipelines, etc. These equipment and structures are usually made of steel, because steel has good resistance to corrosion and temperature. These equipment and structures are usually made of steel, as steel has good strength and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to the complex oilfield environment.

4. Storage Facilities: Oil needs to be stored after extraction, and tanks and storage facilities are usually constructed. These storage facilities are usually made of steel because steel provides sufficient strength and sealing to ensure that the stored oil does not leak and can be adapted to different storage conditions.

5. Support and Enclosure Structures: During the oil extraction process, it is often necessary to construct support and enclosure structures, such as derricks, wellhead booms, etc., to ensure safe and smooth operations. These structures are usually made of steel, as steel has high strength and stability and can withstand the various loads of oil well operations.
