new or otherwise legal obligations. Their intent is to serve only as an
advisory guide, where all informational contained in content is intended to
assist employers and employees in providing a safe, healthful and
environmentally complaint workplace through effective prevention programs
adapted to the needs of each place of employment tools, equipment,
practices and procedures used.
Health Acts will exist in each specific operating region, location and/or
environment and will require employers and employees to comply with
hazard-specific safety and health standards. In addition, employers must
provide their employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards
likely to cause equipment failure malfunction, injury, serious loss or physical
harm. Employers can also often be cited for violating statutory rules and
regulations if there is a recognized hazard that they then do not take steps
to prevent or abate the hazard. However, failure to implement such
guidelines is not, in itself, a violation.

Drilling systems

Essential jobs performed in the drilling

operations and the systems required are
now explained in the slides that follow.

Producing and transmitting power

Power
requirements vary
considerably
Generally land and
offshore rigs
require 1000HP-
3000HP power
capabilities

June 2009 Kingdom Drilling Services Ltd

Rig power transmission
Diesel engines are
generally the main
power sources.
Power transmitted
electrically or
mechanically from
engines through
clutches to a
"compound" drive
to power the
drawworks, rotary,
and mud pumps
etc.

 Hoisting systems
Deep wells are drilled
with long strings of pipe,
heavy weight pipe and
drill collars
The total weight often
exceeding 500,000
pounds.
Long strings of casing
also require greater
hoisting & braking
capacities

June 2009 Kingdom Drilling Services Ltd

Hoisting drawworks
A drawworks
i.e. a revolving drum
around which drilling line
can be wound,

Braking & catheads

June 2009 Kingdom Drilling Services Ltd

The Rotary drilling process

June 2009 Kingdom Drilling Services Ltd

 Rotary system
Rotary transmission is
delivered via a rotary
table or a top drive
electric or hydraulic
system.
These systems
provide the required
power & transmission
to turn i.e. rotate the
drilling bit & drillstring.

replaced by
Iron roughnecks
Top drives, Derrick

Circulating systems

June 2009 Kingdom Drilling Services Ltd

Circulating system
Drilling fluid-mud-
which is usually a
mixture of weighting
material, clays,
chemicals, and water
or oil, accounts for a
major portion of both
equipment and cost to
drill a deep well

June 2009 Kingdom Drilling Services Ltd

Mud circulating system
From the pump
through the standpipe
and kelly hose to the
swivel thence into the
kelly and down the
drill string

June 2009 Kingdom Drilling Services Ltd

Mud circulating return line
To a settling pit, then
to temporary storage
in a sump settling pit.
Mud is treated for
contaminant removal
prior to returning to
point of origin i.e. the
active mud pit.
