Rigs work to drill holes in the ground, and the purpose of drilling is usually to obtain oil or gas,

the towers work on land or in the water (Offshore) and some are large and others are relatively
small.

Big potholes dig very deep holes about 20,000 feet, or 7000 meters, and may increase. Small
potholes dig a few thousand feet and the equivalent of meters.

The workers in the oil industry classify the types of drilling towers into six main types:

Land drilling towers

Jackup Towers

Platform drilling rigs

Submersible or Submersible Digging Towers

Semi-submersible or semi-submersible drilling towers

Drill ship

land Rigs

The ground drilling tower is dug on land, and this is the most widespread.

Light Land Rig Towers: Wells with depths of 5000: 3000 ft or 1500: 1000 meters are dug.

Medium Land Rigs: The wells you dig range from 10,000: 4000 feet, or 3000: 1200 meters.

Heavy duty towers: wells with depths of 16,000: 12,000 feet, or 5,000: 3,500 meters, are dug

Ultraheavy Land Rigs: Wells with depths ranging between 25,000: 18,000 feet or 7500: 5500
meters

Mobilization Land Rigs

Crew members can move the turret on trucks, trailers, tractors, vehicles, rafts and skis and
sometimes they are transported with special pneumatic equipment.
Small drilling towers in light operating are easy to move and move.

Heavy duty overhead drilling towers are difficult to move and move

jack-up rigs

Navigating wells, which are mobile, have legs to carry a floor and the structure of the drilling
tower. When you place on the drilling site, the legs rest on the Legs Rest On Sea Floor.

Raised pylons can dig in water some feet or meters in depth, more than 400 feet or 120 meters

Mobilization Jackup Rig

Boats pull the raised pylons to a specific location and their legs are always raised from the
ground.

Platform Rig

This type of tower is immovable, i.e. when it is built it does not move from its place at all,
companies dig several wells from one platform, the fixed platform towers can be provided with
a supply vessel that floats next to the fixed platform and there are large platforms that contain
all requirements so you do not need supply vessels, The fixed platform horoscopes have several
types, including steel, galvanic, and concrete.

Large drilling rig fixed platforms have different types such as :

Steel – Jacket Platform

Caisson Type Platform

Concrete Gravity Type Platform

In deep water, builders of drilling towers are required to create platforms that respond or
acquiesce to the movement of water and winds. There are two types of drilling rig towers with a
platform:

Compliant Platform Rig

Tight leg type
