the introduction of drilling

RIG TYPES & COMPONENTS

LAND RIGS.
OFF SHORE RIGS.

LAND RIGS

OFF SHORE RIGS

Jack - up Rigs.

Those rigs drill in water depths

up to 400 ft

OFF SHORE RIGS

SEMI SUBMERSIBLES.
work in water up to 2000 ft.

OFF SHORE RIGS

Drilling Ships.
work in ultra deep water; more
than 2000 ft.

Rig Components
Mast or Derrick.

is the framework-tower
type of support usually
associated with oil well
drilling

Rig Components
Monkey Board.
the platform which support
monkey man stands

Rig Components
Crown
Crown Sheaves
Drilling Line
Traveling Block
Hook

Rig Components
Substructure.
This is the support on
which the derrick rest

Rig Components
TOP DRIVE

it rotates the string as well

1. drilling to be carried out
stand by stand instead.
2.Top drive is not removed
during trips.

Rig Components
SWEVEL
The swivel supports the drill string and allows
rotation at the same time.
It also allows the passage of drilling fluid from
the rotary hose into the drill string. The swivel
performs a very tough job

Rig Components
Elevators
Two elevators are used
in pipe lifting and not
used while drilling

Rig Components

Slips
These devices are used to hold the weight of the drill
string when it is not supported by the hook
(during connections or tripping time)

Drilling String
This term includes all the components
Components
used
to drill below top drive; and it can
include the following components:
1- Drill Pipe & Tool Joints .
2- Heavy weight drill pipe (HWDP).
3- Drill Collars

4- Rotary Bits

Drilling String
Components
Stabilizers
of a blade type construction. Drilling
fluid can pass freely between the
blades while the outer edge of the
blades contacts the wall of the hole and
holds the drill collars firmly centered in
the hole.

Drilling String
Components

Reamers: These usually have the same diameter as the bit and are run a little distance
above it

Under-reamers: Used opening out a hole below a restriction such as imposed by the
blow-out preventer assembly.

Hole Openers: Used for drilling large diameter holes.

Drilling String
Components
Rotary Bits
Roller Bits:- have rotating
cones.
Three cone bits (Tri-Cone)
are the most widely used
in the oil field.

Drilling String
Components
Diamond Bits
This type of bits is normally
used in hard formations
where long bit life and the
subsequent reduction in trip
time are desirable.

Solid Control Equipment

1- Shale shaker.
2- Desander.
3- Desilter.
4- Degaser.
5- Mud cleaner.
6- Centrifuge.
7- Mud Pump

Blow Out Preventor (BOP)

a means of closing-off
the annular space
between the drill pipe
and casing

1- Annular Preventors.
2- Ram Preventors.
