Congratulatory message when the drilling operation is finished (8)
I believe the answer is:
welldone
'congratulatory message when' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'drilling operation is finished' is the wordplay.
'drilling operation' becomes 'well' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is finished' becomes 'done' (both can mean completed).
'well'+'done'='WELLDONE'
'the' acts as a link.
