drillrig
A drill rig, or drilling rig, is a complex machine used to bore holes into the earth for resource extraction, geotechnical investigation, or the installation of infrastructure such as wells. It provides the mechanical force, rotation, lifting capacity, and mud circulation needed to advance a drill string and reach target depths.
Rigs vary by application and location. Onshore rigs are mobile or modular units used for oil, gas,
Key components of a drill rig include a derrick or mast, a hoisting system (drawworks or top
The drilling process involves drilling with rotating bit, circulating mud to manage cuttings and pressures, and
Drilling rigs have evolved toward greater automation and efficiency, with offshore operations emphasizing stability and subsea
