When you enter an oil field rig, there are lots of big machines and equipment, all of it buzzing and whirring at high speed. The drilling rig is its most significant component, rearing up with one end and thrusting long metal arms down into the ground from the other. Workers scale up and down ladders and stairs to keep everything running proper.
The mud is captured in mud tanks for the purpose of being pumped back down the hole. Workers take care to monitor the levels and quality of the mud to keep things flowing smoothly. There are pipe racks where all of the various pipes for drilling and getting the oil are stored.
Tee shale shaker is a double –deck vibrating screen with a position feedback motion mode, which has been analyzed and applicated by the two-degree-of- freedom minus -degree-of-freedom dynamic system. That way the mud can be used again, saving time — and money. The mud is stored in tanks before being pumped back down again; pipe racks prestack all the pipes required for the drilling.
Constructing an oil field rig is like assembling a gigantic puzzle. Workers — who string cables, manipulate massive hoses and leap between pipes and valves with relative agility — assemble a rig with the aid of cranes and other heavy machinery, beginning by putting in place the drilling rig and then adding the mud pumps, shale shaker, mud tanks and pipe racks. Again all the parts need to be secured and linked to function well.
Oil field rigs are also important in the process of getting oil from the earth. The drilling rig burrows down through the earth to oil that lies thousands of feet beneath the surface. Once the oil is tapped, it is pumped up through the pipes that are attached to the rig.
The oil then goes to processing facilities, where it is converted into products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. These are the products that drive cars, planes and machines around the world. You could also say the same thing about the oil field rigs that have given us the fuel we need.
Life on an oil field rig is grueling and it demands long hours. “A rig has to have someone who is very skilled about running rig and the rig equipment, and who can make sure it’s operating safely,” Mr. Farley said. They work in all kinds of weather, be it hot days or cold nights, to keep the rig in operation.
