WHAT KIND OF
DRILLING RIG DO WE
NEED?
CABLE TOOL
ROTARY DRILLING
COIL TUBING DRILLING
LAND / OFFSHORE
RIGS COME IN SIZE FROM SMALL, TRUCK
MOUNTED RIGS THAT HAVE A MAXIMUM
DEPTH OF A FEW HUNDRED FEET ALL THE
WAY TO RIGS CAPABLE OF DRILLING UP TO
50,000 FOOT VERTICAL WELLS.
 TWO TYPES

BOTTOM SUPPORTED / FLOATERS

INLAND BARGE
SUBMERSIBLE
JACK-UP DRILLING RIG
PRODUCTION PLATFORM
INLAND BARGE
•USED IN SWAMPS, RIVERS, LAKES, INLAND WATERS
•FLOATED TO LOCATION AND THEN SANK
•DESIGNED FOR 3’ TO 20’ WATER DEPTH
•BASICALLY A LAND RIG MOUNTED ON A BARGE
•REFLOATED AND MOVED TO NEXT LOCATION
•USED IN US GULF COAST, NIGERIA AND INDONESIA.
•INEXPENSIVE
•MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT COMPARED TO
LAND DRILLING RIG IN SAME LOCATION
SUBMERSIBLE
DRILLING RIG
•USED IN SHALLOW COASTAL WATERS
•FLOATED TO LOCATION AND SANK
•REFLOATED AND MOVED TO NEXT LOCATION
•USED PRIMARILY IN US GULF COAST
•INDUSTRY IS REPLACING WITH JACK-UPS
