Submersible drilling rig
A submersible drilling rig is a marine vessel design that can be floated to location and lowered onto the sea floor for offshore drilling activities.
Design and operation
The submersible drilling platform is supported on large pontoon-like structures. These pontoons provide buoyancy allowing the unit to be towed from location to location.
Once on the location, the pontoon structure is slowly flooded until it rests securely on its anchors, of which there are usually two per corner.
The operating deck is elevated 100 feet above the pontoons on large steel columns to provide clearance above the waves.
After the well is drilled, the water is pumped out of the buoyancy tanks and the vessel is re-floated and towed to the next location.
Submersibles, as they are known informally, operate in relatively shallow water, since they must rest on the sea floor. Other floating vessel types are used in deeper water depths. The term Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is generally used for all offshore drilling rigs that can be moved from location to location.

Drilling rig
A drilling rig is a machine that creates holes in the earth sub-surface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill water wells, oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to be moved manually by one person and are called augers. Drilling rigs can sample sub-surface mineral deposits, test rock, soil and groundwater physical properties, and also can be used to install sub-surface fabrications, such as underground utilities, instrumentation, tunnels or wells. Drilling rigs can be mobile equipment mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers, or more permanent land or marine-based structures (such as oil platforms, commonly called 'offshore oil rigs' even if they don't contain a drilling rig). The term "rig" therefore generally refers to the complex of equipment that is used to penetrate the surface of the Earth's crust.
Small to medium-sized drilling rigs are mobile, such as those used in mineral exploration drilling, blast-hole, water wells and environmental investigations. Larger rigs are capable of drilling through thousands of metres of the Earth's crust, using large "mud pumps" to circulate drilling mud (slurry) through the drill bit and up the casing annulus, for cooling and removing the "cuttings" while a well is drilled. Hoists in the rig can lift hundreds of tons of pipe. Other equipment can force acid or sand into reservoirs to facilitate extraction of the oil or natural gas; and in remote locations there can be permanent living accommodation and catering for crews (which may be more than a hundred). Marine rigs may operate thousands of miles distant from the supply base with infrequent crew rotation or cycle.

The object dropped in the rotary table of the oil rig
This video showed that the crew failed to recognise the dropped object issue. The object was accidentally dropped into the rotary table. This will cause a lot of time and money to fish it out of hole. It may end up with side tracking the well if the fish cannot be recovered from the wellbore. We need to ensure that the team must work carefully while working on the rotary table. ✅ More details about drilling - https://www.drillingformulas.com/ ✅Test your well control knowledge - https://wellcontrolquiz.com/

Huge Drilling Rig Transport | Mega Transports | Free Documentary
An drilling rig is towed around the world by a single tug. A brand-new drilling rig, worth 500 million dollar, has to go from South Korea to Europe. The problem: It is too gigantic for a heavy transport vessel. The solution: it’s being towed. By one single tug. It’s a true Mega Transport, halfway around the globe – all that in just 90 days. The Mega Transport starts in Ulsan, South Korea. West Bollsta was built here for 6 years – and is now ready to get to its operation site. But how should this beast be delivered? It’s 123 meters long and 76 meters wide. Its maximum drilling depth: incredible 12 kilometers! Way to bulky to be transported in a common way. Surprisingly, a rather small kind of boat is best for the job: the ALP Striker – one of the strongest ocean tugs in the world. The...

Video Transcription (Partial):
This is a Patriot Energy drilling rig site in the Permian Basin in West Texas. This well will be drilled to a total depth of about 8,900 feet, then it will be logged and eventually fracked.
Here, you’ll see what the drilling and logging looks like, then in a separate video, we’ll go through the entire fracking process at another well.
This well had been drilling for a couple weeks when our camera showed up to capture the well hitting total depth. Here’s how it works…
There are 3 crew shifts, working around the clock until drilling is complete. They drill rain or shine, and in fact the rig itself is triple grounded, so even lightning is not a threat.
The main position on the platform is the driller. He runs the controls, maintains the written logs and basically directs the show. He’s the guy in charge as far as the drilling is concerned. But really, rig crews work so cohesively, that there is very little discussion, often just occasional sign language to guide a pipe or a chain into place.
There are many moving parts on the rig, once it's set up. Here, for example, they’re mixing drilling mud. You could have all the latest technology in the world, but without drilling mud, the whole operation would come to a halt. Mud serves several purposes besides lubrication. Mud engineers constantly monitor the drilling mud as it circulates out of the well and they can tell what’s going on down the hole from what comes up out of the hole.
This tank is where the water is circulated and flows out of the well, and is where it is filtered and is pumped back into the hole.
Large generators power the rig’s electrical needs and a massive diesel engine drives the motor that powers the bit.
This is where all the action happens, the drilling platform. If you visited a rig site anywhere in the world, most of the time it would look about like this: Pipe spinning at about 45 – 50 RPM and not much else going on.
That weight above the pipe keeps enough pressure on the bit and keeps the drilling process moving methodically.
Each section of drilling pipe is about 35 feet long, and takes anywhere from about – say - 20 minutes…up to an hour and a half to drill the length of one pipe. The difference is obviously what they’re drilling through at any given time. Sandstone goes fast. Shale grinds down to a trickle.
Once a section of pipe is getting close to the end, the driller suspends the weight and the bit stops its progress. That’s when the action begins.
The driller and roughnecks man the rig floor and go to work.
First, the Kelly Drive is moved over and lifted up to where it connected to the last pipe. Large tongs are used to break the seal, then the driller uses back pressure to unscrew the pipe.
Then the Kelly drive is connected to the next section of pipe – which is sitting off to the side in a rat hole, which is just a shallow queue-up hole that gets poked into the ground when the rig is set up.
Then that section of pipe is raised up into the rig tower and lowered to match the previous section that is just sticking up out of the rotary drive area.
The Tongs are once again used to seal this tightly, then the string is in position for the next section of pipe. The master bushing is lowered into position, traveling block and swivel are engaged, the RPMs are dialed in to proper speed. Now, the next section of pipe begins making its way down the hole.
If you figure 8,00 feet depth for this hole, at 35-feet per pipe, this process will take place around 230 times – day and night – before finally the graph that shows exactly where the drill bit is beneath the surface – reaches it’s destination.
At that point, things really begin to shift. First, the hole is flushed out with circulating water for a period of several hours.
At that point, all the pipe is pulled….or tripped….out of the hole.
Then, a logging crew arrives and they begin a multi-hour process of connecting probes and wires that will begin the computerized logging analysis of the well.

An drilling rig is towed around the world by a single tug.
A brand-new drilling rig, worth 500 million dollar, has to go from South Korea to Europe. The problem: It is too gigantic for a heavy transport vessel. The solution: it’s being towed. By one single tug. It’s a true Mega Transport, halfway around the globe – all that in just 90 days.
The Mega Transport starts in Ulsan, South Korea. West Bollsta was built here for 6 years – and is now ready to get to its operation site. But how should this beast be delivered? It’s 123 meters long and 76 meters wide. Its maximum drilling depth: incredible 12 kilometers! Way to bulky to be transported in a common way. Surprisingly, a rather small kind of boat is best for the job: the ALP Striker – one of the strongest ocean tugs in the world.
The ALP Striker will pull the drilling rig across the oceans on arm-thick steel cables. They are so heavy that only the ship's own crane can move them. Connecting tug and rig alone takes a whole day.
Once the drilling rig is towed to the tug, they’re embarking on a journey never before seen: around the cape of good hope. Navigation, pirates, wind and waves – there are many unpredictable challenges along the way. Once they have managed them all, the destination is in sight: the Canary islands.

Video Transcription (Partial):
This is a Patriot Energy drilling rig site in the Permian Basin in West Texas. This well will be drilled to a total depth of about 8,900 feet, then it will be logged and eventually fracked.
Here, you’ll see what the drilling and logging looks like, then in a separate video, we’ll go through the entire fracking process at another well.
This well had been drilling for a couple weeks when our camera showed up to capture the well hitting total depth. Here’s how it works…
There are 3 crew shifts, working around the clock until drilling is complete. They drill rain or shine, and in fact the rig itself is triple grounded, so even lightning is not a threat.
The main position on the platform is the driller. He runs the controls, maintains the written logs and basically directs the show. He’s the guy in charge as far as the drilling is concerned. But really, rig crews work so cohesively, that there is very little discussion, often just occasional sign language to guide a pipe or a chain into place.
There are many moving parts on the rig, once it's set up. Here, for example, they’re mixing drilling mud. You could have all the latest technology in the world, but without drilling mud, the whole operation would come to a halt. Mud serves several purposes besides lubrication. Mud engineers constantly monitor the drilling mud as it circulates out of the well and they can tell what’s going on down the hole from what comes up out of the hole.
This tank is where the water is circulated and flows out of the well, and is where it is filtered and is pumped back into the hole.
Large generators power the rig’s electrical needs and a massive diesel engine drives the motor that powers the bit.
This is where all the action happens, the drilling platform. If you visited a rig site anywhere in the world, most of the time it would look about like this: Pipe spinning at about 45 – 50 RPM and not much else going on.
That weight above the pipe keeps enough pressure on the bit and keeps the drilling process moving methodically.
Each section of drilling pipe is about 35 feet long, and takes anywhere from about – say - 20 minutes…up to an hour and a half to drill the length of one pipe. The difference is obviously what they’re drilling through at any given time. Sandstone goes fast. Shale grinds down to a trickle.
Once a section of pipe is getting close to the end, the driller suspends the weight and the bit stops its progress. That’s when the action begins.
The driller and roughnecks man the rig floor and go to work.
First, the Kelly Drive is moved over and lifted up to where it connected to the last pipe. Large tongs are used to break the seal, then the driller uses back pressure to unscrew the pipe.
Then the Kelly drive is connected to the next section of pipe – which is sitting off to the side in a rat hole, which is just a shallow queue-up hole that gets poked into the ground when the rig is set up.
Then that section of pipe is raised up into the rig tower and lowered to match the previous section that is just sticking up out of the rotary drive area.
The Tongs are once again used to seal this tightly, then the string is in position for the next section of pipe. The master bushing is lowered into position, traveling block and swivel are engaged, the RPMs are dialed in to proper speed. Now, the next section of pipe begins making its way down the hole.
If you figure 8,00 feet depth for this hole, at 35-feet per pipe, this process will take place around 230 times – day and night – before finally the graph that shows exactly where the drill bit is beneath the surface – reaches it’s destination.
At that point, things really begin to shift. First, the hole is flushed out with circulating water for a period of several hours.
At that point, all the pipe is pulled….or tripped….out of the hole.
Then, a logging crew arrives and they begin a multi-hour process of connecting probes and wires that will begin the computerized logging analysis of the well.

This video showed that the crew failed to recognise the dropped object issue. The object was accidentally dropped into the rotary table. This will cause a lot of time and money to fish it out of hole. It may end up with side tracking the well if the fish cannot be recovered from the wellbore.
We need to ensure that the team must work carefully while working on the rotary table.

An drilling rig is towed around the world by a single tug.
A brand-new drilling rig, worth 500 million dollar, has to go from South Korea to Europe. The problem: It is too gigantic for a heavy transport vessel. The solution: it’s being towed. By one single tug. It’s a true Mega Transport, halfway around the globe – all that in just 90 days.
The Mega Transport starts in Ulsan, South Korea. West Bollsta was built here for 6 years – and is now ready to get to its operation site. But how should this beast be delivered? It’s 123 meters long and 76 meters wide. Its maximum drilling depth: incredible 12 kilometers! Way to bulky to be transported in a common way. Surprisingly, a rather small kind of boat is best for the job: the ALP Striker – one of the strongest ocean tugs in the world.
The ALP Striker will pull the drilling rig across the oceans on arm-thick steel cables. They are so heavy that only the ship's own crane can move them. Connecting tug and rig alone takes a whole day.
Once the drilling rig is towed to the tug, they’re embarking on a journey never before seen: around the cape of good hope. Navigation, pirates, wind and waves – there are many unpredictable challenges along the way. Once they have managed them all, the destination is in sight: the Canary islands.

Submersible drilling rig
A submersible drilling rig is a marine vessel design that can be floated to location and lowered onto the sea floor for offshore drilling activities.
Design and operation
The submersible drilling platform is supported on large pontoon-like structures. These pontoons provide buoyancy allowing the unit to be towed from location to location.
Once on the location, the pontoon structure is slowly flooded until it rests securely on its anchors, of which there are usually two per corner.
The operating deck is elevated 100 feet above the pontoons on large steel columns to provide clearance above the waves.
After the well is drilled, the water is pumped out of the buoyancy tanks and the vessel is re-floated and towed to the next location.
Submersibles, as they are known informally, operate in relatively shallow water, since they must rest on the sea floor. Other floating vessel types are used in deeper water depths. The term Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is generally used for all offshore drilling rigs that can be moved from location to location.
