Yes, there are drilling rigs operating in the Indian ocean, primarily engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. Countries like India, China, and various international oil companies conduct offshore drilling activities in this region. Additionally, there are various exploratory and production platforms in areas such as the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. These operations are subject to regulations and agreements between nations and companies involved.
The drilling rig was not given a name but is simply referred to as "the Spindle top drilling rig".
All drilling rigs are designed to extract a significant amount of petroleum, which is trapped underground in a porous or permeable rock formation. The most common form of drilling rig has been the rotary rig.
Yes, the Glomar Challenger was a research ship equipped with a drilling rig, but it did not record magnetic data. Its main purpose was to conduct deep-sea drilling for core samples from the ocean floor to study geological and paleoceanographic processes.
It is actually a hole in the ground, not a part of the rig.

A bullpen rig is a type of portable drilling rig in the oilfield. It’s easy to move and set up, making it useful for smaller or quicker drilling jobs.
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.

The drilling rig is a semi-submersible platform (not anchored to the sea floor). It has been destroyed by fire and is lying in 5,000 feet of water at the ocean's bottom. As it plunged into the ocean, it drifted and is a good distance (I believe around 1,400 ft) from subsea wellhead. The drilling platform will never be repaired.
Ocean Rig was created in 1996.
