When they are pulled out of the hole, instead of laying down each joint of drill pipe, 2 or 3 joints are left connected and stood in the derrick to save time. Standpipe (#8) is a thick metal tubing, situated vertically along the derrick, that facilitates the flow of drilling fluid and has attached to it and supports one end of the kelly hose.

The field is being developed by BP plc and 25% partner ExxonMobil [1] It is the largest offshore production platform in the Gulf, with a processing capacity of 250 thousand barrels per day (40 × 10 ^ 3 m 3 /d) of oil and 200 million cubic feet per day (5,700,000 m 3 /d) of natural gas, and the field is believed to hold in excess of 1 billion barrels (160 × 10 ^ 6 m 3) of oil.

Crown block. A crown block is the stationary section of a block and tackle that contains a set of pulleys or sheaves through which the drill line (wire rope) is threaded or reeved and is opposite and above the traveling block.
Darcy's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium and through a Hele-Shaw cell.The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on results of experiments [1] on the flow of water through beds of sand, forming the basis of hydrogeology, a branch of earth sciences.
