Drilling rigs create boreholes on that are usedin natural gas extraction
A rig that can drill a 10,000ft (3km) wellrequires 50-75 people, 35-45 semi tracks tomove and assemble it.
Drilling operations continue 24hrs and 7daysfor almost full year

It is a four legged loadcarrying structure
It is the most critical structureas it determines the rig´sdepth limit
It carries the load of thecrown block and travellingblock
It should de designedproperly to carry largest dryweights of these loads

Suspends the weight of thedrilling pipe
It is part of fluid circulationsystem and allows for theflow of drilling mud from thestandpipe without leaking
It allows the part below it torotate

Is used to turn the drillingpipe
It is a special section of pipethat is attached to thebottom of the swivel bythreading.
Drilling pipe rotates as therotary table turns. The kellyconnects these structures tothe swivel

A powered gear located inside the rotarytable turns the master bushing.
The master bushing turns the Kellybushing.
The square or hexagonal opening in theKelly Bushing fits against the flat sides ofthe Kelly itself and causes it to spin.
The Kelly slides up and down freely insidethe opening in the Kelly Bushing allowing itto move down as the bit drills into the hole
The drill stem and bit are turned by theKelly.

It is used in both the Kellysystem and Top Drive system.
The rotary table is located onthe floor of the rig and it iscapable of producing a strongrotating force called
Additional equipmenttransmits torque from therotary table to the drill bit.

Drill Pipe forms the upper part ofthe drill string.
Each section of pipe is called ajoint with a box (female) and pin(male) located on the ends.
Drill pipe is threaded together orassembled in sections and put intothe hole as the bit turns.
Drill pipe is hollow and allows fluidor transmitting wires to passthrough

Mud pump: A large, high-pressurereciprocating pump used tocirculate the mud on a drilling rig.
Pressure is as high as 52MPa
Mud pit: Originally, an open pitdug in the ground to hold drillingmud or waste materials such aswell bore cuttings or mudsediments.
Steel tanks are much morecommonly used for thesepurposes now, but they are stillusually referred to as pits.

It is made of heavy steelpipe
lines the walls of the holeto prevent the wall of thehole from caving in
prevents movement offluids from one formationto another, and to aid inwell control.
The space between thewall of the hole and thecasing is filled by cement

Friction caused by the drilling operation will tend toreduce the outside diameter of the drill bit.
Air must be delivered to the piston at sufficientpressure to activate the reciprocating action, and inturn drive the head into the rock with sufficientstrength to fracture and pulverise it
New non-contact effective drilling technologies: arebased on the utilization of water jet, chemical plasma,hydrothermal spallation or laser

very promising in deep drilling applications
produce boreholes with large constant diameter without frequent replacement of the drill bits
It would decrease time and money consumption
It is in research phase
