Main Components ofa Drilling Rig
All drilling rigs have the following basic systems
•Hoisting
•Rotating
•Circulating & Solids Control
•Power
•Blowout Prevention
4.
Hoisting System
Used forraising and
lowering the drilling
assembly, and for
running casing,
completion equipment
and other tools in and
out of the hole.
5.
Rotating System
A hexagonalor square pipe is connected
to the topmost joint of the drill string. The
rotary table and kelly drive bushing impart
rotation to the drill string while allowing it
to be moved up or down.
As an alternative to the kelly and rotary
table, most modern rigs employ a Top
Drive system for rotating the drill string.
A powerful electric or hydraulic motor is
suspended from the traveling block.
6.
Circulating System
During drilling,fluid is
continuously pumped
down the drill string,
through the bit, and up
the annular space
between the hole and
the drill string. Its main
purpose is to bring up
the cuttings, cool the
bit, maintain hole
stability, and prevent
formation fluids from
entering the wellbore.
Types of DrillingFluids

Selection of the type of drilling fluid systems for a well is based on:
PERFORMANCE, ECONOMICS, and ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
More than one system may be used in the same well.
9.
Diesel Electric
Power System
Mostmodern rigs are
electric. Generally, large
diesel engines are the
primary source of power.
Electric power generated
by the engines is first
converted from AC to DC
in the SCR unit. DC
motors supply power to
the drawworks, rotary,
and pumps. AC power is
still used for auxiliary
equipment.
10.
Drill String &Bit
Hole is made by turning a
bit connected to the
bottom of the drill string
and applying weight at the
same time.
The bit is turned either
entirely by drill pipe
rotation from surface or
with the help of a
downhole motor which
rotates when drilling fluid
is pumped through it.

Well Control
Primary controlof
wellbore pressures is
maintained by ensuring
that the hydrostatic
pressure of the drilling
fluid in the well is always
slightly higher than the
highest formation
pressure exposed to the
open wellbore. Primary
control is lost if a kick is
taken due to imbalance
of pressures.

Directional Drilling -Why?
• On Land:
– Surface constraint due to
land owner, natural
event, etc.
– Relief well in blowout
situation
– Horizontal
• Offshore:
– Save Cost on Platform
– Relief well in blowout situation
– Horizontal
– Extended Reach
– Multi-Lateral

Horizontal Wells
A “horizontalwell” or high angle well describes a well drilled
at an angle greater than 70º relative to vertical.
• Can connect natural fractures in carbonates.
• Prevent water/gas coning by reducing pressure draw down.
• Improves sweep efficiency through infill drilling, horizontal
injection for waterflood or EOR.
• Can enhance property value by increasing recovery in tight
gas reservoirs or thin sands or low permeability reservoirs.
• Location constraints limiting numerous wells.

40.
Intelligent Well Systems(IWS)
An Intelligent Well System is defined by ChevronTexaco
to include at least one downhole flow control valve, one
downhole sensor, and two distinct intervals.
Provides real-time reservoir management:
• Downhole data sensing, acquisition, and transmission
of temperature, pressure, density, flow, etc.
• Remote control of flow and well operations
41.
Beam Pump (sucker-rodpump)
Mechanics
• Utilizes a reciprocating rod to move a
downhole pump.
• Downhole pump consists of “traveling”
and “standing” valves, which utilize
check valves to trap and mechanically
lift a column of fluid.
Characteristics
• Comprised ± 80% of all artificial lift.
• Predominantly land use.
• Handles gas and solids fairly well.
• Best for low-volume producers (5 to
5,000 BFPD)
42.
Gas Lift
Mechanics
• Bestmimics “natural” flow. Utilizes
pressurized gas injection downhole to lighten
the hydrostatic “head” of a column of fluid,
allowing reservoir pressure to lift the fluid
column to surface.
• Uses downhole valves to regulate the amount
and depth of gas injection
• Continuous or intermittent lift.
Characteristics
• Used wherever a gas source is available.
• Second most common lift system (Most
common offshore lift system).
• Good handling of solids.
• Wide range of production rates
43.
Electric Submersible Pump(ESP)
Mechanics
• Utilizes a downhole electric motor to drive a
downhole centrifugal pump.
• Uses surface electrical transformers and
variable frequency speed drives to deliver
consistent power.
Characteristics
• Requires electrical power supply.
• Highest lift efficiency of all lift systems.
Becoming more common as an offshore lift
system.
• Poor handling of solids and fair handling of
gas.
• Wide range of production rates (200 to
30,000 BFPD)
• Lifespans anywhere from 1 to 7 years
depending on environment and
horsepower/power quality.

Drilling Cost Estimation
•Deterministic - Single figure
• Probabilistic - Considers risk and uncertainty using
probabilities (objective, empirical, subjective) - Decision Trees,
Monte Carlo - Cost estimates are given with associated
probabilities, usually P10, P50 and P90
Both methods require base case estimation by hole intervals
Plot of Cost vs. Days – for tracking actual vs. estimated cost
Cost per Foot of offset wells for benchmarking and cost estimating

Editor's Notes
#39 Cost Reduction
The purpose of the technology is to reduce CAPEX. The idea is simply to incur only the cost of rig time, tools, services, and equipment needed to drill and complete an average deviated lateral of 300-1500 feet. The costs of mobilization/ demobilization, casing, and drilling to top of zone will essentially be borne by the main wellbore. A possible cost reduction scenario would have the multilateral well providing twice the production, but only 1.5 times the cost of a monobore completion.
#54 Decision Space upgrade incorporates improved graphics with the ability to input the Earthvision structural model and the Temis Pressure cube.
