2. DAY 1 - Drilling Equipment
Course Agenda :
1.0 Drawworks
Drawworks are powerful electrically-driven winches
that lower and lift the drill string and casing. They
also raise the derrick on land rigs using special
raising lines. Some drawworks on older land rigs also
drive the rotary table using a heavy duty chain drive.
1.1 Main characteristics
1.2 DC Drawworks checklist
1.3 AC Drawworks checklist
2.0 Rotary Table
A rotating table rotates and supports the drill string
when connections are to be made for the drill string
or the casing. It is AC or DC electrically-driven or
driven from the drawworks. Some rotary tables
cannot be used to rotate the string; instead the top
drive is used. Some rotary tables are hydraulical-
ly-driven to rotate with a low torque and low speed
only.
2.1 Main characteristics
2.2 Rotary table checklist
3.0 Top Drive
A top drive is a mechanical device on a drilling rig
that provides clockwise torque to the drill string to
facilitate the process of drilling a borehole. It is an
alternative to rotary table. It is located at the swivel
place and allows a vertical movement up and down
the derrick. The advantage of a top drive over a
rotary table is that it allows the rig to drill longer
sections of drill pipe. A rotary table can only drill a
single drill pipe at one time.
3.1 Main characteristics
3.2 Top drive checklist
4.0 Independent Swivel
An independent swivel is a rotary tool that is installed
in the hook at the bottom of the travelling block and
allows the drill pipe to rotate while supporting the
weight of the drill string. It also allows the passage of
mud through the drill pipe at the same time.
4.1 Main characteristics
4.2 Independent swivel checklist
5.0 Crown and Travelling Block
A crown block is a device situated at the top of an oil rig
or derrick. It sits on the crown platform, which is a
steel platform located along the upper portion of the
rig. The crown block works in conjunction with a
similar compo-nent, the traveling block, which is
positioned just below the crown platform. Together,
these two systems areknown as the block and tackle.
Each crown block consists of a series of sheaves and
steel cables. These cables and sheaves sit on a steel
frame, which may be built into the structure of the derrick.
The sheaves serve as drilling lines, and pass through the
traveling block below to connect to the rig's hoisting
drum. While the crown block itself is fixed and used to
stabilize the sheaves, the traveling block moves up and
down with the cables.
5.1 Crown block main characteristics
5.2 Travelling block main characteristics
5.3 Introduction to the crown block and travelling block
5.4 Crown block checklist
5.5 Travelling block checklist
6.0 The Derrick
A derrick is a lifting device composed of a tower or a
guyed mast, such as a pole, which is hinged freely at the
bottom and which is sometimes controlled by four lines to
keep the derrick straight. The derrick allows the rig to
pull/lower three drill pipes (called a stand) at the same
time. Some smaller land rigs pull two drill pipes (called
doubles).
6.1 Main characteristics
6.2 Derrick checklist

1.2 Mud pump checklist
2.0 Mud System
The mud system is a system of shakers, mud centrifuges, mud
cleaners, mud desanders and mud desilters designed to circu-
late drilling fluid to the drill bit and back to the surface.
A mud system has two sections. The high pressure section
delivers mud from the pumps to the drill bit. The low pressure
section sends mud back to the surface for treatment and
supplies mud from the mud pits back to the main pumps using a
large number of centrifugal pumps. A vacuum degasser
removes small particles of gas from the mud.

A gate valve is part of well control equipment integrat-
ed into the choke and kill lines of the BOPs. They seal
off the choke and kill valve outlets. On each outlet
there is normally one remotely-operated gate valve
and one manually-operated gate valve.
3.1 Main characteristics
3.2 Gate valve checklist
4.0 Choke and Kill Manifold
The choke and kill manifold is a collection of pipes and
valves that restricts or stops pressure/flow and form
part of the BOP system.
Some land rigs have a simple choke manifold. Modern
rigs and MODUs use a selection of gate valves
integrated into a choke and kill manifold. Both types
are accompanied by a mud/gas separator and vent
lines. Upstream of the chokes, the manifold is
connected to the BOPs. Downstream of the chokes,
vent lines are routed to the mud/gas separator and the
flare pit on land rigs or routed overboard on MODUs.
