movement of the travelling block for a distance
greater than the equivalent of one stand.
✓ The derrick is designed to resist the loads tripped in

characterizes a rig and indicates the depth
rating for the boreholes that can be drilled.

✓ Diesel engines are directly connected
(compounded) to the draw work by chain.
✓ This system is still in use for small Drilling Rigs
(under 1500 HP), but is no longer used on
medium-Hi powered rigs( 1500 & 3000 HP).
Depending on the engines on the rig, the drawworks
can be either:

• The auxiliary brakes are used only when going in the hole on a trip. These are used to prevent
burning the band-type brakes.
• The auxiliary brakes are of two types:
A. The hydro-dynamic type braking is provided by water being impelled in a
direction opposite to the rotation of the drum.
B. The electromagnetic type braking is provided by two opposing magnetic fields.
The magnitude of the magnetic fields is dependent on the speed of rotation and the
amount of external excitation current supplied.
• In both types of auxiliary braking systems, the heat development must be dissipated using a
liquid cooling system.

o Hevi-Wate drill pipe is an intermediate
weight drill stem member. It consists of
heavy-wall tubes attached to special extra-
length tool joints. It has drill pipe dimensions
for ease of handling. Because of its weight
and construction, Hevi-Wate drill pipe can
be run in compression the same as drill
collars in small diameter holes and in highly
deviated and horizontal wells.
Heavy Weight Drill pipe
Tubular Handling

93
o Similar in appearance to a drill pipe, HWDP has
the following different dimensional
characteristics; the tube wall is heavier about
1”thick in most sizes, the tool joints are longer,
and the tube section has a larger diameter at
mid length to protect the pipe from wear.
Tubular Handling

94
Tubular Handling
Heavy Weight Drill Pipes Function
HWDP is used to absorb the stresses being
transferred from the Drill Collars to the Drill Pipe.
The major HWDP benefits are:
o Increased wall thickness
o Longer tool joints
o Uses more hard facing
o May have a long central upset section

95
o Drill collars have larger outer diameter
and smaller inner diameter than drill
pipe. The functions of drill collars are:
▪ Provide the required weight on bit
while drilling
▪ Maintain drill string in tension which
reduces bending and fatigue failures.
▪ Provide stiffness for directional
control

o Typically 3 1/8" to 11" OD, Most commonly in
lengths of 30 - 31 ft
o Both slick and spiral drill collars are used.
o Spiral collars where there is chance of getting stuck
o where differential sticking is a possibility spiral drill
collars and spiral HWDP should be used in order
to minimize contact area with the formation.

o Subs are classified into four main categories:
Subs
Tubular Handling
Bit Sub or crossover subs are used to connect the drill bit to the first piece of BHA equipment or to
crossover connections in the drill string. Drill bits are manufactured with a pin, making make-up
impossible without a bit sub.
Workover subs or circulating subs are used to limit the allowable fluid-circulation rates.
Lifting Sub or handling subs are used to lift BHA components from the catwalk to the rig floor.
Top drive subs or saver subs serve as the sacrificial element between the drill string and the top drive,
reducing repair and maintenance costs.

I. by pulling a vacuum on the mud
II. by increasing the surface area available to the mud so that bubbles
escape
o If the gas content in the mud is high, a mud gas separator or "poor boy

II. rig light,
III. air compressors, etc.
o Since the largest power consumers on a rotary
drilling rig are:
I. the hoisting,
II. the circulation system, and the rotary system,

157

o the sources of energy are diesel fueled
engines.
o Most rigs use 1 to 5 engines to power
the drawworks and rotary table.
o The engines are usually rated between
400 and 800 hp.

most onshore rigs are between 1,000 to
3,000 hp.

as part of blowout prevention system.
The shut-off valves in ram preventers
close by forcing or ramming themselves
together. Ram BOPs close the well by
rams which operate in unison and
actuated by hydraulic cylinders. Ram
BOP has several types of rams, such as
pipe ram, blind ram, shear ram and
