drillers

Oil field workers

Drillers is the plural of driller—one who drills.

Most often this means workers who operate drilling equipment, particularly in oil and gas extraction: The drillers hit oil at three thousand feet.

In sports, especially baseball and cricket, a driller is someone who hits the ball hard and straight: He's a driller who sends line drives through the infield.
