How do you drill with a cable tool 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.


What is onshore and offshore petroleum exploration?

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.


How does a drilling rig work?

A drilling rig operates by using a rotating drill bit to penetrate the earth's surface and reach underground resources, such as oil or natural gas. The rig's structure supports various components, including the drill pipe, which connects the surface equipment to the drill bit. As the drill bit rotates, drilling mud is circulated through the system to cool the bit, remove cuttings, and maintain pressure in the well. The rig is equipped with mechanisms for hoisting, lowering, and rotating the drill string, allowing for efficient drilling operations.

What is the purpose of a collar clamp on a drilling rig?

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.

What is the relation between hook load capacity and drilling depth?

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.
