RIG COMPONENTS
Outline
 Rig types
 Hoisting system
 Rotating system
 Circulation system
 Tubular handling
 Key Roles – Responsibilities
Rig types

 Land rigs
 Offshore rigs:
 Floating rigs
 Semi-submersible
 Drill ships
 Bottom-supported rigs
 Platform
 Jack-up
Semi-submersible (Floating)
 Can be moved by ships
 Only drilling, not production
 Special compensating equipment
 Good for drilling Top hole sections
Platforms
 Fixed, immobile
 Both drilling and production operations
 Derrick can be moved around the board
Jack-up
 Bottom-supported, but not fixed
 Mobile
Rig components

 Hoisting system
 Rotating system
 Mud circulation system
 Cement unit
 Tubular handling system
 Pressure control system
 Power generation system
Hoisting system

 Drawwork
 Drilling line
 Crown block
 Traveling block
Drawwork
 Provides a means of
raising and lowering the
traveling block

 Components:
 Drum
 Motor
 Reduction gear
 Brake
 Auxiliary brake
Drilling Line

 Fastline
 Deadline

Number of drilling
lines depends on the
weight of load
Deadline Supply reel

 Stores excess drill line ~2000 m

 Slip and cut (30 m)
Crown block

 Set of “rollers” on top of

derrick
 Fixed, not moving
 Enables mechanical
advantage to hoist
heavier loads
Traveling block

 Moving up and down

 Enables great mechanical
advantage to lift heavy
loads with the help of
sheaves
Rotating system

 Rotary table
 Top drive
Rotary table

 Provides power to turn

drill string in cw or ccw
directions
Top Drive

Provides rotational force to drill

string

 Max speed 240 rpm

 Motors
 2 IBOP
 1 manual operated
 1 remote operated
 Elevators
Mud Circulation System
 Wellbore monitoring

 Trip Tank
Mud circulated
above wellhead
Used to monitor
well while
 Tripping
operations.
 Static condition
Trip Tank
Solids Control

 DCB – Drill Cutting Box

 The cuttings are loaded to DCBs and
sent to town by vessel ships.
CRI System

Separators

 Separate shakers Butterfly Chute

 Separate centrifuges Butterfly Chute

 Disposal well Cuttings Blowers

ISO Storage CRI Processing

Pumps Tanks

Injection Pump

Diverting Valve

Disposal Well

Cuttings to Shore Sub-surface Domain

 Cement unit

 2 x Engines
 2 x HP triplex pumps
 2 x Displacement tanks
 4 x Centrifugal pumps
 3 x Bulk silos
 Surge can
 Mixing bowl
 LAS system
 Control cabin
Tubular Handling System
 Fingerboard
Secures tubular in place vertically on the
derrick in stands

 DP and DC are locked by locking fingers

 Remotely operated from drillers cabin
 From 4” DP up to 9-1/2” DC
TFM

 Tubular Feeding Machine

 Transports tubular from pipe deck to rig floor
Hydraulic Roughneck
 Designed to make up or break out tubular
 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxElb2U3H8Y
Hydraulic Iron Roughneck
Cathead & Tongs
 Used to make up or break out
tubular if hydraulic roughneck
can not be used
Slips/Dog Collars

Manual Slip & Dog Collar

Auto slip inside rotary

 Elevators
 Attached to top drive with rings
 Hydraulically operated
 Different sizes according to the size of tubular
 Used during RIH / POOH
Pressure Control System

 To prevent flow of uncontrolled formation fluids

 BOP
 Diverter
 MGS
 Well Control accessories
 TIW, Waterbushing and etc.
Power Generation System
 Most modern rigs are electric.
 Generally, large diesel engines are the primary source of
power.
