Derrick (#14) is the support structure for the equipment used to lower and raise the drill string into and out of the wellbore. This consists of the sub-structure (structure below the drill floor level) and the mast. Desander / desilter (not pictured) contains a set of hydrocyclones that separate sand and silt from the drilling fluid. Typically ...
A cell spar consists of a cluster of small-diameter cylinders and relatively speaking, cheap to manufacture. Cylinders are either buoyancy only, or subdivided into buoyancy and ballast. The first spar platform was the Brent Spar. Designed for storage and offloading of crude oil products, it was installed on the UK's Brent Field in June 1976.
Drilling the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin Large hole drilling rig for blast-hole drilling. A drilling rig is an integrated system that drills wells, such as oil or water wells, or holes for piling and other construction purposes, into the earth's subsurface.
It is now on display at the outdoor Energy Equipment Exhibit museum in Gillette, Wyoming. Unit Rig Lectra haul truck 143 is on display at the Wright Centennial Museum in Wright, Wyoming . Its gross empty weight is 223,276 lbs and it houses a 16V149 Detroit 1600 HP engine while using 20 gallons of fuel an hour.
The Lun-A (Lunskoye-A) platform, located off the north eastern coast of Sakhalin Island and is a concrete gravity base substructure (CGBS).. An oil platform (also called an oil rig, offshore platform, oil production platform, etc.) is a large structure with facilities to extract and process petroleum and natural gas that lie in rock formations beneath the seabed.
Slickline is more commonly used in production tubing. The wireline operator monitors at surface the slickline tension via a weight indicator gauge and the depth via a depth counter 'zeroed' from surface, lowers the downhole tool to the proper depth, completes the job by manipulating the downhole tool mechanically, checks to make sure it worked if possible, and pulls the tool back out by ...
An iron roughneck is a piece of hydraulic machinery used to "handle" (connect and disconnect) segments of pipe in a modern drilling rig. [1] The segments can be manipulated as they are hoisted into and out of a borehole.
In this simple diagram of a drilling rig, #20 (in blue) is the rotary table. The kelly drive (#19) is inserted through the center of the rotary table and kelly bushings, and has free vertical (up & down) movement to allow downward force to be applied to the drill string, while the rotary table rotates it.
