drilling rig oil and gas

Drilling rigs are big machines that help create holes into the Earth. These holes are significant as they let us pocket precious oil and gas resources. Energy is a necessary component of people’s daily lives, from the gas used to power cars, to oil used to heat homes. Many other companies like BeyondPetro depend on these drilling rigs to look beneath the surface of the earth to search for oil and gas — the process of drilling proves to be quite crucial to obtain such natural resources.

A drilling rig is a large machine that has many components which all work in coordination. A major component of a rotary drilling rig is the derrick, a tall structure that supports the drill. Bolted to the drill is a lengthy metal hinge that extends deep beneath the surface and continues all the way to the oil and gas located below the ground, the drill pipe. The sharp end at the very bottom of the drill pipe is called the drill bit. This is the drilling tool is designed to break up hard strata of the earth. As it drills, the rig also has a mud pump to help transfer dirt and rocks that are brought up from the hole. This process ensures clean holes and easier drilling of greater depth.

The technology behind modern drilling rigs

Modern drilling rigs are mounted with cutting-edge technology that simplify and secure the drilling process. One of the most significant changes we’ve witnessed in recent years has been the introduction of computers and, more broadly, digital tools that facilitate workers getting their jobs done better. “This technology enables workers to analyze data and refine their drilling processes. It also reduces the wait times so drilling can happen quicker. It also helps maintain the safety of workers when working. Advanced rigs are outfitted with specific sensors offering real-time insights into what is occurring during this drilling process. That means when things aren’t going right, workers can make real-time adjustments to resolve the issue.
