"bottom kill"?

The way drillers can "steer" these deep well drills fascinates me. How do they do it? Drilling down 18K ft and hitting or getting under the blow hole? Gad I love technical stuff hey.. I know how to fish wires up down and across walls and ceilings in a house!

I'm still mystified how they steer the drilling so many thousands of feet deep.
