Oil Field Equipment

Oil field equipment may consist of many things. I want to explain some of the biggest oilfield equipment. A land rig and an offshore rig and the difference between the two.
A land drilling rig is a piece of equipment that creates holes (usually as holes) and / or waves into the ground. Drilling land rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill for oil wells or gas wells. The sample below the surface of mineral deposits, test rock, soil and groundwaterphysical properties. Drilling land rigs can be mobile devices mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers, or more plots, which were based not permanently confused with marine structures (such as oil rigs, which generally refers) as "off-shore oil rigs. The term" rig "therefore generally complex to the device that is used to penetrate the surface of the earth's crust. A drilling rig land would be used on land.

May be drilling land rigs:

• Small and portable, such as those used inMineral exploration drilling.

• Large, capable of drilling through thousands of meters of the crust. Large "mud pumps" circulate drilling mud (slurry) through the drill bit and the casing, for cooling and removing the "cuttings" while a well is drilled.

Hoists in the rig can lift hundreds of tons of pipe. Other equipment can force to facilitate acid or sand into reservoirs in the extraction of oil or mineral sample, and permanent accommodation and meals for the crewcan be taken more than a hundred.

Naval platforms to be able to run hundreds of miles or kilometers off the coast with rare crew rotation. An offshore platform, which is often cited as an oil platform or oil rig, a large tree in the house workers and machinery needed to drill wells into the seabed, used oil and / or gas, process, extract the produced fluids and send them to shore. Depending on the circumstances, the platform can be attached to the ocean floor, consist of an artificialIsland or floating.
Most offshore platforms located on the continental shelf, where has the technological progress and rising crude oil prices, drilling and in deeper waters is both feasible and economically viable is. A typical offshore rig is about thirty wells on the platform and directional drilling can be found in both reservoirs are accessed at various depths and at remote points up to 5 miles (8 km) from the platform.

Remote SubseaWells can also provide a platform connected to the flow lines and umbilical connections, these solutions can consist of subsea wells and a manifold each center for several wells.
