Borehole :

A borehole is the generalised term for any narrow shaft drilled in the
ground, either vertically or horizontally. A borehole may be constructed
for many different purposes including the extraction of water or fluid
(such as oil) or gases (such as natural gas or methane), as part of a
geotechnical investigation or environmental site assessment, for mineral
exploration, or as a pilot hole for installing piers or underground
utilities. Boreholes used as water wells are described in more depth in
that article.
In the engineering and environmental consulting fields, the term is used
to collectively describe all of the various types of holes drilled as part
of a geotechnical investigation or environmental site assessment (a
so-called Phase II ESA). This includes holes advanced to collect soil
samples, water samples or rock cores, to advance insitu sampling equipment,
or to install monitoring wells or piezometers. Samples collected from
boreholes are often tested
