Hole for extracting petroleum (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oil well

(Other definitions for oil well that I've seen before include "How to minimise friction" , "Whence petroleum is extracted" , "Boring made for extracting petroleum" , "Source of crude" , "as result of a strike" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail and The Mirror.
