Offshore drilling rigs have similar elements, but are configured with a number of different drilling systems to suit drilling in the marine environment. The equipment associated with a rig is to some extent dependent on the type of rig but typically includes at least some of the items listed below.
Moon pool: A space beneath the drill floor of an offshore rig open to the water below. Motorman: Responsible for maintaining all equipment on the rig to ensure smooth operation and minimal downtime. Mouse hole: A hole on the drilling rig floor used to hold the next joint of pipe to be added to the drill string. Mud: Slang term for drilling ...
MODU – mobile offshore drilling unit (either of jack-up drill rig or semi-submersible rig or drill ship) MOF – marine offloading facility; MOPO – matrix of permitted operations; MOPU – mobile offshore production unit (to describe jack-up production rig, or semi-submersible production rig, or floating production, or storage ship)
A workover rig. The term workover is used to refer to any kind of oil well intervention involving invasive techniques, such as wireline, coiled tubing or snubbing.More specifically, a workover refers to the expensive process of pulling and replacing completion or production hardware in order to extend the life of the well.
The production stage is the most important stage of a well's life: when the oil and gas are produced. By this time, the oil rigs and workover rigs used to drill and complete the well will have moved off the wellbore, and the top is usually outfitted with a collection of valves called a Christmas tree or production tree. These valves regulate ...
These rigs use the same technology and equipment as the oil drilling rigs, just on a smaller scale. The drilling mechanisms outlined below differ mechanically in terms of the machinery used, but also in terms of the method by which drill cuttings are removed from the cutting face of the drill and returned to surface.
Wireline truck rigged up to a drilling rig in Canada. In the oil and gas industry, the term wireline usually refers to the use of multi-conductor, single conductor or slickline cable, or "wireline", as a conveyance for the acquisition of subsurface petrophysical and geophysical data and the delivery of well construction services such as pipe recovery, perforating, plug setting and well ...
This Picker is used to Rig up the basket. It also tows a trailer. -----> The trailer for the Picker is the DOGHOUSE. The Doghouse is then split into the TOILET BLOCK and OFFICE, and the GENERATORS (GEN-SETS) which provide electrical power to the rig.
