This quick guide gives you type of drilling rigs information. The Subsea Oil and Gas Directory is much more than only a list of offshore and upstream focused businesses and companies. It also contains a massive amount of information on offshore rigs and oil and gas exploration companies.

Quick Guide: Types of Drilling Rigs using in Oil and Gas Explorations and Production

An oil drilling rig, exploration rig or oil rig is a set of equipment for drilling wells for the purpose of searching for or extracting crude oil, natural gas or groundwater from underground reservoirs.

The term is used both for onshore rigs and for offshore rigs. Used correctly, the term only applies to the equipment that performs the drilling function itself, including the drill tower. Drilling platforms and oil platforms are types of drilling rigs often referred to incorrectly as oil rigs or exploration rigs. In addition, the terms drillships and drill barges barges are also used.

Anchoring and Mooring of Drillship, Rigs and Platforms

The DP system uses thrusters that hold the position of the rig relative to a specific longitude and latitude set in the DP system. This means that the rig is held in a fixed position over the well despite winds, waves and currents. The DP system depends on satellite coverage to know the position of the rig.

When the rig is to be anchored, it must have anchor management help to place the anchors far enough from the rig at points laid out for anchoring (prelaid mooring system). It is AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply) vessels that assist in laying and pulling the anchors when moving the rig.
