What Does
Drill Rig Mean?
A drill rig is a machine that consists of all the parts necessary to bore a pilot hole into the earth’s crust, which can then be enlarged to extract product. Drill rigs are used to locate and extract water, oil, gas or any other product from the earth. They can be used onshore or offshore and are configured to match the product and environment in which they operate.
Trenchlesspedia Explains Drill Rig
Drill rigs are large and complex machines that include a mud tank and distribution system, the drill string with the associated drive mechanisms and power generation equipment. In offshore environments, the drill rig can be accompanied by living quarters, a helipad and auxiliary equipment.
Drill rigs are used to explore the geological conditions of an area to find the location of the desired product and the optimum points for extraction. Once this is done, they are configured for product extraction by increasing the bore size and setting up the extraction system.
