    1
    What is mean the Drilling?
    • Drilling is a mechanical technique for drilling and penetrating
    rock (Rock Formation) to reach places where hydrocarbons (oil
    & natural gas) are collected.

    • Drilling can be considered as the second stage of oil production


    after exploration to reach the stage of oil production.

    Type of Drilling Rigs

    Drilling Rigs

    Land Rigs Marine Rigs


    Heavy Land Rig
    Light Land Rig Floating Rigs Bottom Supported Rigs
    Helicopter Portable Rig
    Semi Submersible Jackup
    Drill Ship Platform
    Drilling Barge Submersible
    A typical classification of rotary drilling rigs 4
    Types of the Oil Rigs
    1-Land Rigs
    sequence of operations is as follows when a land well is drilled:
    1. Prepare location before rig arrives.
    2. Dig cellar
    3. Install conductor pipe
    4. Prepare support pad for rig, camp, etc
    5. Build roads, fencing, dig pits
    6- Sometimes drill water well.
    5
    7- Move rig on to location, rig up and prepare to start drilling.
    6
    Rotary Drilling Process

    • Rotary table rotates the drill string

    • Downward force applied to the bit

    • Cuttings are lifted to the surface by circulating a fluid down the drill string

     Main Component Parts of a Rotary Rig are:


    1.Power System
    2. Hoisting System
    3. Fluid Circulating System
    4. Rotary System
    5. Well Control System
    6. Well Monitoring System 7
    2- Marine Drilling Rigs (Offshore)

    Two main types:


    1. floating

    2. bottom-supported unit
    Floating unit include: semisubmersible (bottle-type, column
    stabilized), barge rig and drill ship.

    Bottom-supported unit include: submersible (posted barges, bottle-type


    submersibles, arctic submersibles), jackups and platforms.

    Marine (offshore) Rig

    Floating Rig
    SEMI - SUBMERSIBLE
    • This floating drilling unit has columns when flooded with
    seawater, cause the structure submerge to a predetermined depth.
    • Although it is moved by wave action, it sits low with a large part
    of its structure under water combined with eight huge mooring
    anchors, make it a very stable installation.
    • This type of rig drills a hole in the seabed then it moves to the next
    location.
    • With advancing technology some semi submersibles can drill in
    water depths over five thousand feet.
    10
    11
    Drill ship
    • As the name suggests this is a ship shaped drilling vessel.
    • Unlike the semi-submersible and the Jack up, it does not require
    tugboats to tow it to location.
    • Although they are not as stable as semi submersibles they also drill in
    very deep waters

    12
    DRILLING BARGE
    It is found in swamps, ponds and shallow waters and
    reaches a depth of 20 or 30 meters.

    13
    Bottom supported Rig
    • This is a mobile drilling rig, different from the semi-submersible.
    Instead of floating over its drilling location the Jackup has long leg
    structures, which it lowers to and into the seabed raising the rig
    out of the water.
    • The obvious limitation with this type of installation is the depth
    of water it can operate in.
    • The maximum being five hundred feet.

    14
    Platforms
    ❖ This immobile structure can be built from concrete or steel and
    rests on the seabed.
    ❖ When oil or gas is located a platform may be constructed to drill
    further wells at that site and also to produce the hydrocarbon.

    15
    Steel Jacket platform
    ➢ Most common type of platform.
    ➢ Consist of the jacket, a tall vertical section made of tubular steel
    members.
    ➢ Supported by piles driven into the seabed.
    ➢ Additional sections on top of the jacket provide space for drilling
    rig, crew quarters, and other equipment's.

    16
    Concrete Gravity
    ❑ Build from steel reinforced concrete.
    ❑ Tall caissons, or column are the dominant feature of this platform.
    ❑ Sometime, special concrete cylinder are fixed at the base of the
    caissons on the sea floor to store crude oil.

    Compliant platform
    ❑ Using rigid platform in water much over 1000 feet depth is not
    practical – very much expensive to build.
    ❑ In deep water, most companies use compliant platform, which contain
    fewer steel parts and are lighter than rigid steel-jacket
    ❑ Guyed-tower platform and tension-leg platform.
