Design Criteria For Drill Rigs

This text discusses factors such as mast overload, capacity of drawworks, and deviation in the hole to be drilled and the strata to be drilled. An omnibus approach to drilling techniques and problems is adopted.

This handbook covers all the aspects of constructing a rig from conception and project management through to equipment and system completions. Rigs over time continue to change and improve dramatically, and this handbook explains in understandable language and figures for the drilling, and non-drilling, engineers and managers how to properly assemble together a rig, better define the rig requirements, and ensure safety throughout the entire project. Great for training or quick reference, other must-have topics include: Purpose of FEED; Design regulations and standards; Life cycle costs and reliability; Facility requirements; Drilling equipment specifications, including marine and arctic systems; How to close out systems completion. This book has been written under the auspices of the IADC Technical Publications Committee.
