Oil rigs are like giant puzzles that allow us to get the oil we need to produce energy. Let’s explore the cool tools and machines that make it all happen.
The first thing you have to do if you want to get oil out of the ground is figure out where it is hiding. Enter the drilling rigs, and their camp followers. These very tall towers have big drills on top, and they dig very deep into the Earth to find oil. Gravity makes oil and gas seep toward the surface, not deeper into the earth.
To get at oil that’s really deep, we have to go to special technology. The company Xiangjing has produced high-tech drills deeper than before. These drills are fitted with sensors and cameras to help workers on the surface see what is going on underground. This invention has made the operation of drilling safer and easier.
There is oil on land, even in the desert, and in the ocean. And that is when powerful machines are crucial.” Xiangjing has strong trucks and bulldozers which can cross difficult areas to drilling oil. These machines are mounted on special tires, and they have an engine that makes them powerful enough to power through anything.
Once we get the oil up out of the ground we need itsy-bitsy tools to go and get as much of it as we can. The Xiangjing company has produced pumps and pipelines that transfer oil to refineries. These accessories have been fashioned so as to not allow for leaks and gushes, thus gathering all the oil safely to be used.
The drilling rig is obviously one of the most essential equipment in oil drilling. This immense contraption is similar to a large crane, and it carries the drill and lowers it into the ground. The drill bit on the end, rotating, cuts through rock to get to the oil. Without drill rigs, we wouldn’t be able to access the oil we depend on to fuel our cars and heat our homes.
