A workover rig is a large machine that has to be used in the process of removing oil and gas from deep inside the ground. It is not easy to understand these machines; they are complex and have been made from many different things, each thing having its own work. These parts perform and co-operate as a unit to keep the rig functioning well and safely. It's amazing how all these different bits and pieces of C++ combine to form such a large work!
The derrick is the main component of a workover rig. Think of the derrick as a many-story metal structure that towers over the rig floor. Not only is this tall structure a beast of burden in holding up the rest of this rig. A key role of the derrick is that it allows you to lift and lower tubular pipes along with the drill bit. And in particular things to grind through so you can even get the oil and gas. So if the derrick broke, then this rig could not get these important tools on to its either of them and up or down to do the work.
The other essential part of the workover rig, as mentioned earlier, is an engine. The engine — This really is the heart of your rig. The same way our heart pumps blood, keeping us alive and full of energy, the engine gives life to everything that occurs on the rig. That keeps it in charge of everything from the hydraulic pumps to the drilling tools. Any rig needs the power generated by engine to perform its all functions. The truck would be useless without a powerful engine!
Counterweights are used in order to make the rig stable. The counterweights, which are the part of workover rig in terms of weight helps to maintain equilibrium and stay balanced. Stacked on the rear of the rig, these mighty cans eventually ended up with weights that were usually over injected on normal automobiles. Their main purpose is to prevent the rig from toppling over when it lifts heavy equipment. Its like lifting a weight, you need to be steady in order for it not to fall on your feet. Ballasts keep the rig stable, especially when it's drilling into deep layers of earth. They are essential for ensuring everything runs smoothly.
The system that does the hoisting is another vital component of a drilling rig. It has the function of hoisting and lowering all heavey tools that are required for working. The hoisting system includes: drawworks, wire ropes, and crown block. They help in lowering and lifting the drill pipe, which is rigged up with a heavy bit. The cable is run over the crown block and as you tighten or released tension from the winch with electric brakes on them they will raise the tools up and lower it down. This is especially a critical process for when the heavy equipment needs to be operational, as detection and safety are paramount.
The drilling control system is the last piece in this puzzle, and it is one of the most important as without being able to move that drill bit around with a great deal of precision we would not be making much more than holes straight down. The mud cycling system comprises many components working together, such as the mud pumps, slackline arrangement and looping pit of other auxiliary equipment including the function minerals separation deals with drilling-chopped solids. Mud pumps are vital to pumping special liquid—referred to as mud, more often than not—down the drill pipe outside it. It washes out the hole and helps in lubrication of the drill bit. The turning system that turns the drill bit and causes it to rotate so that the ground can be broken. It is the mud cleaning system that manages to pull out these rocks or dirt from the drilling fluids itself which contributes towards keeping everything clean and helping things work on a longer scale.
