Explain the functions of the components of the hoisting equipment on a drilling rig.

Consists of: y Derrick;

The derrick is for lifting and lowering equipment Also acts as a drifting facility for all surface equipment on a well such as the blow out preventers, riser and sea bed template. It is used for carving the drill string s weight and casing. Also acts as a drifting facility for all surface equipment on a well such as the blow out preventers, riser and sea bed template. It supports the hoisting system

Draw-works to hoist and lower the drilling machine and drill string up and down the derrick. Crown block/Top block Travelling block Drilling line The type of rig which will be selected depends upon a number of parameters, mention any five of them. Well depth/ Sea depth. Pressure rating and BOP expectations. Rig load and storage capacity. Hook load capacity. Mud pump output rating. Explain the functions of the components of the rotating equipment on a drilling rig.

Explain briefly the functions of the following stabilizer Stabilizers are used to control the direction of the wellbore .By adjusting the size and position of the stabilizer, the bit can be made to drop build and hold angle. It also centralizes the bit prolonging its working life which is its main purpose. It also helps in directional control near the bit. They also help to hold the drill collar away from the walls of the wellbore lessening the possibility of wall contact and the bottom hole assembly getting stuck. i. jar accelerator rock bit PDC bit diamond bit
