Crowd is defined as the down force exerted by the rig.
To drill with a cable tool rig, the process begins by setting up the rig and securing the drill bit on the end of the drill string. The rig's mechanism raises and drops the heavy drill bit repeatedly to break the rock or soil. After each drop, the bit is rotated slightly to create a circular hole, and the cuttings are removed by a bailer or by flushing with water. This cycle is repeated until the desired depth is reached.
Petroleum exploration is where a rig or ship is used to drill into the earth or seabed to locate oil reserves. For offshore exploration a drill ship, jack-up drilling rig or floating drilling rig can be used. For onshore applications mobile drilling rig is used.

A collar clamp on a drilling rig is used to secure the drill string during operations, particularly when making connections or changes to the drill string components. It helps to stabilize the drill string and prevent it from falling or shifting, ensuring safety and efficiency while drilling. Additionally, the collar clamp facilitates the handling of heavy equipment and minimizes the risk of accidents in the rig environment.
The catwalk is used to roll drill pipe, casing and tools from the ground level of the rig to the rig floor which can be from 5' to 30' or more depending on the type of rig. Once on the catwalk pipe or tools are pulled up the V-Door which connects the catwalk to the rig floor.

Weight of drill string while going in the well
Hydraulic drill pipe tongs. They are available in tubular sizes 2-3/8" to 12 in".
The drilling rig was not given a name but is simply referred to as "the Spindle top drilling rig".
it exploded because of a miscommunication under water in the drill :D
The hook load capacity is the maximum weight that a drilling rig can lift. The drilling depth is how deep the rig can drill into the ground. The hook load capacity needs to be sufficient to lift the drill string and other equipment needed to reach the desired drilling depth without exceeding the rig's lifting capacity.
