2. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
8
2.1 DRILLING RIG
It is an integrated system that drills wells, such as oil or water wells, in the earth’s
subsurface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill water wells,
oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to be moved manually by
one person and such are called augers. Drilling rigs can sample subsurface mineral deposits, test
rock, soil and groundwater physical properties, and also can be used to install sub-surface
fabrications, such as underground utilities, instrumentation, tunnels or wells. Drilling rigs can be
mobile equipment mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers, or more permanent land or marine-based
structures (such as oil platforms, commonly called 'offshore oil rigs' even if they don't contain a
drilling rig). The term "rig" therefore generally refers to the complex equipment that is used to
penetrate the surface of the Earth's crust.
2.2 TYPES OF DRILLING
PETROLEUM DRILLING
Petroleum has mostly been recovered by oil drilling. Drilling is carried out after studies
of structural geology, sedimentary basin analysis, and reservoir characterization. Recent
improvements to technologies have also led to exploitation of other unconventional reserves such
as oil sands and oil shale. Once extracted, oil is refined and separated, most easily by distillation,
into numerous products for direct use or use in manufacturing, such
as gasoline (petrol), diesel and kerosene to asphalt and chemical reagents used to
make plastics, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Petroleum is used in manufacturing a wide variety
of materials, and it is estimated that the world consumes about 100 million barrels each day.
Petroleum production can be extremely profitable and was important for economic development
in the 20th century, with some countries, so called “oil” gaining significant economic and
international power because of their control of oil production.
MINING DRILLING
Drilling and blasting currently utilizes many different varieties of explosives with
different compositions and performance properties. Higher velocity explosives are used for
relatively hard rock in order to shatter and break the rock, while low velocity explosives are used
in soft rocks to generate more gas pressure and a greater heaving effect.
9
For instance, an early 20th-century blasting manual compared the effects of black powder
to that of a wedge, and dynamite to that of a hammer. The most commonly used explosives in
mining today are ANFO based blends due to lower cost than dynamite.
MOBILE DRILLINGS
In early oil exploration, drilling rigs were semi-permanent in nature and the derricks were
often built on site and left in place after the completion of the well. In more recent times drilling
rigs are expensive custom-built machines that can be moved from well to well. Some light duty
drilling rigs are like a mobile crane and are more usually used to drill water wells. Larger land
rigs must be broken apart into sections and loads to move to a new place, a process which can
often take weeks.
Small mobile drilling rigs are also used to drill or bore piles. Rigs can range from 100
short tons (91,000 kg) continuous flight auger (CFA) rigs to small air powered rigs used to drill
holes in quarries, etc. These rigs use the same technology and equipment as the oil drilling rigs,
just on a smaller scale.
The drilling mechanisms outlined below differ mechanically in terms of the machinery
used, but also in terms of the method by which drill cuttings are removed from the cutting face of
the drill and returned to surface.
AUTOMATED DRILLING
An automated drill rig (ADR) is an automated full-sized walking land-based drill rig that
drills long lateral sections in horizontal wells for the oil and gas industry. ADR’s are agile rigs
that can move from pad to pad to new well sites faster than other full-sized drilling rigs. Each rig
costs about $25 million. ADR is used extensively in the Athabasca oil sands. According to the
"Oil Patch Daily News", "Each rig will generate 50,000 man-hours of work during the
construction phase and upon completion, each operating rig will directly and indirectly employ
more than 100 workers." Compared to conventional drilling rigs", Ensign, an international
oilfield services contractor based in Calgary, Alberta, that makes ADRs claims that they are
"safer to operate, have "enhanced controls intelligence," "reduced environmental footprint, quick
mobility and advanced communications between field and office. In June 2005 the first
specifically designed slant automated drilling rig (ADR), Ensign Rig No. 118, for (SAGD)
applications was mobilized by Deer Creek Energy Limited, a Calgary-based oil sands company.
10
2.3 DRILLING HYDRAULICS
It’s refers to how the drilling fluid in the circus- lasting system exerts pressure throughout
the system, par- secularly in the wellbore. Any back pressure that may be imposed at the surface,
for instance by circulating through a choke, will also act to increase either the static or the
dynamic BHP.
A hydraulic system in a rotary drilling rig is relatively wasteful of power. For example, it
would not be unusual for a pump receiving mechanical energy at the rate of 1,000 hp to deliver
not more than 750 hp to the hydraulic system, of which only about 400 hp is actually being used
in hydraulic jetting action at the bit.
If such a system, normally wasteful of power, is also operated inefficiently and power, is
also operated inefficiently and without proper engineering foresight, it would not be surprising to
find the bit action starved of hydraulic power, and the drilling capabilities of the rig seriously
curtailed.
This paper will examine the important factors controlling efficiency of the rig hydraulic
system, and indicate how these factors should be adjusted to provide reasonably high efficiency
with a reasonable economy of engineering effort.
2.4 HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
It generates the force required - pressure builds to a maximum and when released, drives
an impact piston forward. When the piston strikes a chuck, it transfers its kinetic energy as a
stress wave through a drill rod to the drill bit, which uses this impact energy to pulverize the
rock. Hydraulic drills are powerful tools harnessing the power of pressurized liquid in order to
supply the driving force needed for excavation or other drilling related activities. Hydraulic
equipment is a popular choice when it comes to small drills because of the beneficial aspects that
they bring to any operation. A machine for drilling, reaming, counter boring, and tapping
holes especially: a power machine for drilling holes in metal (as a drill press or radial drill)
2.5 DRILLING MAST
A drilling mast is a structure over an oil well which supports the drilling equipment and
allows it to be lifted into and out of the wellbore. The crown block is supported by the top
platform of the drilling mast or derrick. A drilling mast or derrick was erected over the well.
Drilling Machine: It is a machine which is used to drill the holes on the components or work
piece with the help of drill bits.
11
The drill bits are also called as Multi-point cutting tools which can have their rapid
impact on the Material Removal Rate (MRR) i.e. a single point cutting tool(like the one used in
a lathe machine) can removes the material slowly whereas, a multi-point cutting tool removes the
material at a faster rate and thereby increases MRR.
2.6 CONSTRUCTION OF DRILLING MACHINE:
The parts are as follows.
1. Base (Bed):
The base is made up of Cast Iron which has the capability of high compressive strength,
good wear resistance and good absorbing capability (i.e. absorb the vibrations induced during
working condition) and for these reasons, it acts as a base to the drilling machine.
2. Column:
It is exactly placed at the center of the base which can act as a support for rotating the
Swivel table and holding the power transmission system.
3. Swivel Table:
It is attached to the column which can hold the machine vice in the grips and thereby, the
work piece is fixed in the machine vice to carry out the drilling operation. The Swivel table can
move up and down by means of rotational motion and can be locked to the column by means of
locking nut.
4. Power Transmission System:
It consists of motor, stepped pulley, V-belt and the Spindle. The power transmission is
explained in the working of the drilling machine.
5. Hand wheel:
By the rotation of hand-wheel, the spindle moves up and down in the vertical direction in
order to give the necessary amount of feed to the work. Here, the rotational motion is converted
into linear motion by means of a Rack and Pinion mechanism which was explained below.
6. Chuck: It is used to hold the drill bits
12
A V-belt is placed in between the stepped pulleys so as to drive the power transmission.
Here a V-belt is used instead of a flat belt, in order to increase the power efficiency. The drill bit
also rotates which was placed in the chuck and which was in connection with the spindle. As the
Pulleys rotate, the spindle also rotates which can rotate the drill bit. By the rotation of hand-
wheel, the spindle moves up and down in the vertical direction in order to give the necessary
amount of feed to the work and this drill bit is used to make the holes on the component placed
in the machine vice.
2.8 DRIVE MECHANISM OF DRILLING
This drive mechanism is based on Rack and Pinion Mechanism. When the hand-wheel is
rotated, it is converting the rotational motion to the linear motion by means of rack and pinion.
The setup consists of Rack (has fine grooves), Pinion, Chuck and the Drill bit. The drill bit has
placed in the chuck and the chuck is connected to rack and when the hand-wheel rotates, the
Pinion is inserted in the grooves of Rack [shown in the below fig.] and thereby the rotational
motion is converted to linear motion and as this mechanism is running by means of Rack and
Pinion called as Rack and Pinion mechanism.
Types of Drilling Machines:
Radial drilling machine
Upright drilling machine
Automatic drilling machine
Multiple Spindle drilling machine
Deep hole drilling machine
Sensitive drilling machine
Portable drilling machine
Gang drilling machine
Radial Drilling Machine
Drilling Machine is to make circular holes on the components with the help of Drill bits.
But, the purpose of the Radial Drilling Machine is used to drill the holes in the given radial
distance and this will be used, when the component size is large in terms of height. When the
component is large, it cannot fit its structure in the Machine vice.
13
Therefore, the component has to be placed on the ground and the Radial arm of the
drilling machine has to be rotated w.r.t the component to do the operation. The Angle of a Drill
bit is 118°.
Working Principle of Radial Drilling Machine:
When the power supply is given, the spindle rotates which was in conjunction with the
motor. The Radial arm is adjusted w.r.t the type of operation and height of the work piece. The
spindle is connected to the chuck and the drill bit is placed in between the jaws of the chuck. The
Drill head is adjusted on to the work piece and a suitable feed is given. Then the drill bit drives
into the work piece very easily. Drive Mechanism: Rack and Pinion Mechanism
When the hand wheel is rotated, then the Pinion which is attached to the rack also rotates
which can convert the rotary motion to the linear motion and the driving mechanism is called
as Rack and Pinion mechanism.
Base: It is made up of Cast Iron which possesses high compressive strength and good
wear resistance. The base is used to support the assembly of parts on it and also absorbs
Column: It is exactly placed at one end of a bed which can act as a support for rotating
14
Radial Arm: It is the arm which is connected to Column. The Drill head is slided from
Motor: It is placed on the drill head for driving the work unit(Spindle of the Drill bit)
Table: The machine vice is connected to a swivel table which can hold the work piece
Drive Head: It generally consists of two levers which by varying can increase or
Chuck: One end of the chuck is connected to the spindle arrangement and another end is
Tool-Drill bit: The drill bit is used to drill the holes on the specimens.
Work piece: It has to be fixed in the machine vice provided on the table.
Main components comprise the drilling rig are:
Power system.
Hoisting system.
Rotary system.
Circulating system.
Well control & monitoring system are the equipments used for drilling
Drilling equipment includes explosive loader trucks, diamond drills, rotary drills, percussion
drills, and drill boom jumbos rig system. The rig is basically comprised of a derrick; the draw
works with its drilling line, crown block and traveling block, and a drilling fluid circulation
system including the standpipe, rotary hose, drilling fluid pits and pumps.

Fig. 2.1.The drilling process
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in
solid materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multi-point. Instead; the hole is
usually made by hammering a drill bit into the hole with quickly repeated short movements.
