Unscrewing the drill stem into single joints and placing them on the pipe rack. This
operation takes place at the completion of the well when the drill pipe will no longer
be used or when changing from one size of drill pipe to another.
Break out
Make a Connection
To attach a joint of drill pipe onto the drill stem suspended in the wellbore to permit
deepening the wellbore by the length of joint added usually 30 feet.
Make Hole
Nipple Up
To assemble the Blowout Preventer Stack on the well head at the surface.
The act of placing the stands of pipe in orderly arrangement in the derrick after
hoisting pipe from the wellbore.
Reverse Circulation
The course of drilling fluid downward through the annulus and upward through the
drillstem, in contrast to normal circulation.
Rig Up
To prepare the drilling rig for making hole, that is, to install tools and machinery
before drilling is started.
Run In
Pumping into the top of the drill stem a quantity of heavy mud which will cause the
level of the fluid in the drill stem to fall as the drill stem is hoisted.
Spud In
To guide the end of the pipe into a coupling or tool joint when making up a
connection.
Tearing Down
The act of dismantling the rig at the completion of the well and preparing it moving
to the next location.
