2.1 Would we be right in saying that a conductor pipe connects a borehole to a floating rig,
whereas a riser connects a borehole to a fixed rig? If not, why not?

connects a borehole to a floating rig.
2.2 Would we be right in saying that the wellhead and BOP stack are connected to the top of
the riser?
No, you would be wrong, the wellhead and BOP stack are connected to the top of the
borehole, in other words, the riser goes on top of the wellhead and BOP stack.
