Rotary Drilling Rig Components

.Derrick and mast

.

1. Function of mast or derrick

The mast or derrick is a component of hoist equipment of a drilling rig. It is serve as a support for the crowblock, cables (drilling lines) and traveling block and draw works that are used to lower (RIH) or rise (POOH) of the drilling steer and other tools, devices or equipments into or out of the borehole.

2. A review of main COMPONENT of drilling rig

Onshore Drilling Rig The main COMPONENTS of drilling rig Crowblock Traveling block Leg of mast The monkey board and fingers Monkey is place where derickman works The mast of drilling rig Rig Floor Rig floor is area where floorman and drill crew work. Rig substructure

3. Rig substructure
The Substructure has four legs. The substructure bearings the mast or derrick. The standard derrick has four legs standing of the corner of the substructure. The mast has two legs. Fig. Onshore Drilling Rig Fig. Monkey board and fingers

4. Transportation (Move and remove drilling rig)

For transport on land, from a location to other, the onshore drilling rig can be divided on two or more sections. Some type of drilling rig can be transportable as one single unit. Transportation of drilling rig needs specialized trucks and platform. Other drilling rigs are self-transportable. After the drilling rig is, bring on the location it is rigging up. The rigging up of drilling rig is the task of one or two specialized crews or may be carried out by drilling crew. That is depending by the type of drilling rig. The mast can be raised as a single unit. Operations for raising the mast need to be managed by a trained man. This man may be hired from the manufacturer or from the deliverer of drilling rig. The drilling rigs have a hoisting system that may be ringing up using the power of drilling rig. All equipment of on land drilling rigs type must be sitting on proper foundation. The strongest foundation must be carrying out for derricks and drawworks.

5. Rigging up process of drilling rig

Placing and assembling the various parts of equipment that make up the rig, and preparing the rig for drilling is called Rigging up processing. During assembling of the rig, some equipment may be handled and set with crane, rig up trucks, or forklift, depending on the size of the rig.

6. The rigging up steps

There may be two or more crews (teams) working together in the rigging up process. The rigging up process includes the following steps, some of which are done simultaneously: 1. Setting up the Substructure 2. Setting up Rig Floor and Mast or Derrick Raising the doghouse and rig floor. Installing Handrails, Guardrails, Stairs, Walkways, and Ladders 3. Setting crown on derrick stand 4. Setting mast on rig floor 5. Raising the mast 6. Install derrick emergency escape device 7. Installing Power Systems 8. Rigging up the Circulating System 9. Installing the Auxiliary Equipment 10. Inspecting the Rig NB! After the well was finished, the rig is dismounted and moved to a new site. The dismounting process of drilling rig and its equipments is named Rigging Down Equipment is unloaded and positioned at or near the exact location that it will occupy during operations.

The substructure is assembled, pinned together, leveled, and made ready for other rig components on the floor. Once the substructure is set in place, the process of setting up the rig floor begins. Begin by installing stairways and guardrails to allow access to the rig floor. Then, the drawworks is set in place and secured to the substructure. On mechanical rigs, the engines are set in place and the compound and associated equipment connected to the drawworks. On electric rigs, the electric cables (lines) are strung to the drawworks. The bottom of the mast is raised to the rig floor and pinned in place. The crown section is then raised into place on the derrick stand. The "Alegs are raised and pinned into place. The monkey board is pinned in place on the mast and all lines and cables are laid out to prevent tangling when the mast is raised. A thorough inspection of the mast should be made before raising the mast/derrick. The mast is now ready to be raised. The engines are started (see Installing the Power System), and the drilling line is spooled onto the drawworks drum. Once the mast has been raised and pinned, the remaining floor equipment can be set into place
