Rotating System - Swivel

◊ The rotary tool that is hung from the hook of the traveling block to suspend the drillstring and permit
it to rotate freely.

◊ It also provides connection for the rotary hose and provide passageway for the flow of drilling fluid into
the drillstem.

Rotating System - Kelly

◊ The heavy steel member, usually four or six-sided that is suspended from the Swivel through the Rotary
Table and connected to the topmost joint of drillpipe to turn the drill stem as the rotary table turns.

◊ It has a bored passageway that permits fluid to be circulated into the drill stem and up the annulus or
vise versa.

Rotating System – Rotary Table

◊ Equipment used to turn the drill stem and support the drilling assembly.

◊ It has a beveled gear arrangement to create the rotational motion and opening into which bushings are
fitted to drive and support the drilling assembly.
