Designed to drill
in almost any
environment
Rotary Rigs
Offshore Rig
Platform rig
Rigged up on
a platform
May be
permanent or
drill the wells
and then leave
Offshore Rig
Barge rig
Bottom
supported
Float to location
Sink before
drilling
Shallow water
Often referred to
as inland barge
Offshore Rig
Offshore Rig
Bottle type
submersible
Early design for
deeper water > 30
feet
Replaced by
jackups
Offshore Rig
Arctic
submersible
Uses a
caisson to
support the rig
Needed for ice
flows
Offshore Rig
Jackup
Three to four
legs
Towed to
location while
floating on the
hull
Offshore Rig
Jackup

Motion compensator
Offshore
Newer generation rigs use the
drawworks for motion compensation
Offshore
Riser
tensioner
The riser must
remain in
tension
Offshore
Pneumatic
cylinders are
used to keep
a constant
tension on
the riser
Offshore
Starting a well
from a floating
vessel
Install temporary
guide base and
start drilling
Cuttings are
returned to the
sea floor
Offshore
Then run and
cement the
conductor or
structural casing
with the
permanent guide
base
Offshore
The permanent
guide base
contains the
wellhead
equipment
The BOPs are
attached to the
permanent guide
base
Offshore
Subsea BOP
being lowered
below a
semisubmersible
Offshore
Subsea BOPs
are large
