Prepared by
Eng. Hossam Eldin Ahmed
 This course shows the following:-
* Quick view about rig types and their uses.
* Personnel on rig site.
* Rig main items components.
(Hoisting, rotary and mud circulating system)
“Well control” system functions, constitution
and tests in details.
* Rig equipment and right way to use them.
( Slips, elevators, tongs and F.O.S.V …. Etc.)
safely rig move:-
• 1- Tag line importance and use.
• 2- Dealing with loads lifted.
• 3- visual inspection for wires and shackles.
• 4- Right way for dealing with crane and fork.
