Drilling machines, drilling rigs

A drilling rig is an integrated system designed to excavate or drill wells in the earth. Drilling rigs are often used to create water wells, holes for piling, tunnels for piping or cable infrastructure, and various other construction purposes.

Different Types of Drilling Rigs

While ocean rigs are arguably the first that come to mind, there are many applications for land-based drill rigs. Land drill rigs come in various designs for specific purposes:

• Conventional drill rigs: Also called rotary rigs or kelly drive rigs. The rotation of the drill string and bit is applied by a rotary table.
• Mobile drill rigs: These are self-propelled drilling rigs, usually a truck or track-mounted, that can be driven from location to location.
• Jackknife drill rigs: Uses a foldable derrick that can be raised or lowered according to site requirements.
• Portable mast drill rigs: Usually smaller in size, they consist of telescopic or other types of masks mounted on a portable base with support legs or a crawler track.
• Directional boring machine: Also called horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a specialized drill rig used to create subsurface tunnels for pipe or cable infrastructure. It uses a drill bit attached to a long string that is either self-piloted or steered by an individual to make an underground trenchless tunnel.
