Lecture Notes

There are several ways to classify wells and drilling rigs: 1. Wells can be classified as onshore or offshore depending on their surface location, and oil, gas, or gas condensate wells depending on the fluid of production. 2. Drilling rigs are classified based on their surface location as onshore, offshore, or mobile rigs. Offshore rigs include fixed platforms, jackups, and drillships. 3. Rigs are also classified by depth rating as shallow, medium, or super deep depending on the depth of the well.
