Parts of drill rig

Drilling derricks and Rig Masts consist of a steel framework with a square or rectangular cross-section. Their purpose is to support the hoisting equipment and rack the tubulars while tripping pipe. The number of joints in a stand (single-double-triple) that the rig can pull is dependent on the height of the derrick. . The Drawworks is one of the most important components of the drilling rig (types of drilling rigs). The unit supplies the hoisting power, the. . The Crown Blockas a drilling rig component is a fixed set of pulleys (called sheaves) located at the top of the derrick or mast, where the drilling line is threaded. The companion blocks to these pulleys are the traveling blocks. By using two sets of blocks in this fashion,. . The Traveling Blockis a set of sheaves (pulleys) that move up and down in the derrick. The drilling line is threaded (reeved) over the. . Attached to the bottom of the traveling blocks, the hook is required to hang the swivel and rig kelly(for drilling) and the elevator bales (for tripping pipe and casing). . • (#22) is a section of large diameter pipe fitted to the top of the that the attaches to via a side outlet, to allow the to flow back to the .• (BOPs) (#23 and #24) are devices installed at the wellhead to prevent fluids and gases from unintentionally escaping from the . #23 is the annular (often referred to as Hydril named after a manufacturer), and #24 is the pipe rams and blind rams.

FAQS about Parts of drill rig

What are the components of a drilling rig?

1. Mast or Derrick Usually the first component of the drilling rig people notice, the mast is a tall fabricated structure towering above all the other drilling components. The mast is vitally important, as it supports the components of the drilling mechanism hovering above the point where drilling will take place.

How many systems are there on a drilling rig?

There are 4 main systems on a drilling rig: Ac-Dc Power Generation Station Example: Drilling derricks and Rig Masts consist of a steel framework with a square or rectangular cross-section. Their purpose is to support the hoisting equipment and rack the tubulars while tripping pipe.

How does a drilling rig work?

The drilling line spools out under gravity and is reeled in by an electrical or diesel engine. The Crown Block as a drilling rig component is a fixed set of pulleys (called sheaves) located at the top of the derrick or mast, where the drilling line is threaded. The companion blocks to these pulleys are the traveling blocks.
