Rigs (Plataformas Sumergibles)
Drilling Rigs
All the drilling machinery and devices that are
used to excavate and extract oil from the ground
Drilling Rigs
Mud injection hose: Flexible hose that introduces the drilling mud
into the swivel.

Oil: Flammable, relatively viscous oily liquid that is used as an
energy source.

Rotary table: Circular table that is moved by powerful motors; it
transmits its rotative movement to the drill pipes by means of the
kelly.

Kelly: Special square rod that is screwed to the top of the drill pipes
and driven by the rotary table.


Gas: Mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons (mainly methane) that are
found in underground deposits, which sometimes also contain
crude oil; it is used mainly as a fuel.

Engine: Is charged of converting the combustion of fuel and air
into mechanical energy.

Substructure: Metal infrastructure that supports the derrick,
engines and auxiliary equipment.

Vibrating mudscreen: Perforated vibrating tray that is used to
filter mud as it exits the well to remove debris and recycle the mud.
Lifting hook: Steel part that is attached to the traveling block; it
is used to support the swivel and the drill pipes.

Derrick: Metal structure erected over an oil well; tools for drilling
through rock are raised and lowered through it.

Crown block: Mechanical device that is mounted on top of the
derrick; it has several pulleys and, with the traveling block, it
supports the drill pipes.

Mud pump: Device that circulates the mud in the drilling rig.

Mud pit: Basin that contains mud (a mixture of water, clay and
chemical products) used mainly to cool and lubricate the bit and to
remove debris.

Swivel: Piece attached to the lifting hook and the kelly; it is used
to introduce mud into the drill pipe to cool and lubricate the bit.

Traveling block: Movable mechanical device with pulleys; it is
attached by cable to the crown block and fitted with a lifting hook.



Drill pipe: Hollow steel rods that are joined together according to
the depth of the excavation; their rotation activates the bit.

Drill collar: Heavy steel tube immediately above the bit that
applies a certain weight to the bit to help it cut into the rock.

Bit: Rotating drill bit with toothed steel or diamond; it bores into
rock to break it up and drill a hole.
