The Well Control System or the Blowout Prevention System on a drilling rig is the system that prevents the uncontrolled, catastrophic release of high-pressure fluids (oil, gas, or salt water) from subsurface formations. These uncontrolled releases of formation fluids are referred to as Blowouts.
[pdf] VFD House: This is the main electrical room on the rig. It supplies power to all rig equipment and contains the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) for all motors, and generator control cubicles. It is the central hub where equipment control takes place. 2.
[pdf] and drilling rigs are used not only to identify geologic reservoirs, but also used to create holes that allow the extraction of oil or natural gas from those reservoirs. Primarily in onshore oil and gas fields once a well has been drilled, the drilling rig will be moved off of the well and a service rig (a smaller rig) that is purpose-built for completions will be moved on to the well to get th.
