So if you want to 'Fracture" rocks then hydraulic methods can be used to increase pressure to aid in breaking through them. Sometimes, explosives can also be used.
It would seem to me, then, that you are looking for a cheap, efficient means to bore shallow holes, correct? Certainly, there are numerous ways to drill wells, successfully, but it may be rather expensive to use a drill rig for, say, a 40' hole.
Insofar as job opportunities, most drilling operations are contracted out to independent firms.
I know of only one or two environmental companies that actually maintain their own drilling crews and equipment.
But hey, the P5 would look cool with a derrick on top.
Good luck!

Yeah I got to play with explosives yesterday it was cool huh huh uhuh huh. You're right, you should mount a Giant mast with a tophead rotary drive on your P5 with a down hole hammer. and I'll set mineup for Diamond coring.
Around my area, Southern Ontario, there aren't that many contractors that do what my first choice is for drilling which is exploration. The closest is Boart Longyear, but thats way north, which isn't necesarily a bad thing but I'd like to stay close to home. I got a job interview thursday with a company in the Toronto area though hopefully I'll get in there since its only an hour from home. I think it'd be cool to go offshore drilling for oil too.
