There are two separate but closely related parts of preparing for a drilling project—planning the well and designing the well. “Planning” means to list, define, schedule, and budget for all the multitud.
[pdf] Electric generators powered by large diesel engines (the prime movers) generate electricity that move the heavy rig equipment such as the rotary table (or top drive), mud pumps and drawworks. Electric drill rigs are more expensive than mechanical rigs, but offer some nice advantages in return.
[pdf] Coiled tubing can be used for drilling operations without the use of drill pipe and a rotary table, which speeds up the process. A bottom hole assembly (BHA) with a drill bit is connected to the coil tubing and inserted in the well.
