A washout is generally any enlargement or hole formed in an oil well after the hole has been drilled. ^{[1] [2]}

This information was removed for the washout (disambiguation) page. Perhaps it could be worked into this article. France3470 16:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC) reply

A washout can also refer to a hole eroded in drilling tubulars by an erosive leak. Tommfuller ( talk) 13:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC) reply
