A drilling rig refers to a system or a set of complex machinery that is designed to be used to drill holes into the earth’s crust. The drilling rig and the equipment used along with it can vary depending on the type of application it has been developed for. The size of a drilling rig depends upon the depth the drilling rig is capable of reaching. They are usually classified into two categories namely, the small and portable rigs and the large ones that have to be dismantled and set up.  The small drilling rigs are normally used for drilling water wells, or searching for minerals, rock blasting applications, basically any project that does not need the drill to go too deep to get the job done. Such drilling rigs are a usually comprised of portable equipment and mounted on trucks which allow them to be used on exploratory missions. The large rigs range from medium to big rigs that are capable of drilling thousands of feet considering that they need to be set up and cannot be transported easily. Smaller rigs are usually the preferred choice for small land operations since the cost of operating one is much less and they also require less space compared to the larger drilling rigs.

The uses of drilling rigs are vast and the type of equipment and components used varies with the application the rig has to be used for. Smaller drilling rigs are used for small applications like water well boring to medium sized applications like exploration drilling in search for minerals. The larger rigs are mainly used for obtaining large deposits oil and natural gas deep below the earth’s crust. Such rigs are used for both on shore and off shore operations. Off shore operations usually have crews in the hundreds due to the complexity of the machinery, working day in day out to meet the needs of the industry.

As in the case of any drilling rig, it all pours down to the equipment used by the oil and gas drilling companies and the quality of the components that are sourced and used from various manufacturers all over the world. Bad quality components usually break down quickly and are less accurate which leads to huge losses in terms of time and money. Hence it is essential to source the right equipment from the right company for the right application.
