    Drilling Primer II

    There are three main types of offshore drilling rigs: drill ships for remote areas that can transit quickly, semi-submersibles that are better for harsh environments due to improved motion characteristics, and jack-ups that can operate in shallow waters up to 400 feet deep. Drilling rigs have circulating systems to pump drilling mud through the drill string and drill bit, including mud pumps in sizes from 5,000 to 7,500 PSI and shale shakers to separate cuttings from the mud returned from the well. Mud logging units gather and record critical information about cuttings and hydrocarbons brought up from the well during drilling.

    Rig Types and Rig Systems


    Categories
    By Environment
    Drill Ship vs Semi-Submersible
    Drill Ship
    • Moored or Dynamically Positioned
    • High Deck Loads and high Transit speeds
    • Good for remote areas
    Semi-Submersible

    • Moored and Dynamically positioned


    • Motion characteristics are better than ships,
    good for harsh environments
    Heave Limit
    Jack-ups

    • Can operate in up to 400’ water


    • Rig can cantilever over platform
    • Must be installed in relatively calm weather
