2. The Hoisting system

2. The Hoisting system

3. The Circulating system

Mud pits & pumps Standpipe Kelly hose Drillstring & annulus Solids transport & removal

3. The Circulating system

3. The Circulating system

Mud pumps Duplex Triplex

4. The Rotary system

Swivel Kelly & bushing Rotary table

4. The Rotary system

4. The Rotary system

Procedures for adding a joint

4. The Rotary system

Procedures for pulling a joint

4. The Rotary system

Enables complete 90' stands of pipe to be added to the string. Saves rig time Coring operations more efficient Power swivel can be easily stabbed into the string to allow circulation, while pulling out

Topdrive

5. The Well Control system

Ram type preventer

Kicks Closing in a well

Annular preventer

6. The Monitoring system

WOB RPM Pump rate & pressure Mudlogging Etc.
