Drilling means drilling a hole in the earth. The machines that allow us to drill holes in the earth are called drilling rigs. Before starting the drilling operations, of course, some conditions must be fulfilled. Such as road construction, shipping, platform construction and assembly of drilling rigs. The drilling material is transported very precisely. Because shipping times are the most common times for accidents. There are five different types of drilling.

Water Drilling Rigs

Water drilling is the name given to the work of drilling a well with air or mud by the drilling machine. The logic of this work is to drill a well until you find the water under the ground and then pull it with a pump after finding it. Of course, the well can be destroyed during pump works, so care is taken not to collapse the well. In addition, the materials used in the construction of the well and the calculations made are very important for the well not to collapse. The technique used varies according to the soft and hardness of the earth. Drilling is done in a muddy way in a soft place. In a hard place, drilling is done by means of air circulation.

Oil Drilling

It is similar to natural gas finding techniques. First of all, the area where the oil will be made is determined and thus the work is started. Seismic methods are also used in these studies.

Energy Drilling

It is slightly different from other drilling types in terms of sub-works. Since geothermal energy is in the most difficult part of the earth, these drilling works require both difficult and special studies.

Mine Drilling

It differs greatly in terms of research and survey programs compared to other drillings. Everything that is extracted from the underground is very important. Since it is an expensive drilling, even the slightest mistake can cause cost problems.

Foundation Drilling

They are the soundings made to determine the characteristics of the place where the living space is located. It is used today. This is how the property of the place is determined before the construction of a tall building.

Drilling Rig Types and Parts

We can divide it into rotary drilling machines, impact drilling machines and combined drilling machines. The drilling machine consists of five parts.

Drive unit: Power units are diesel, gasoline and electric motor.
Powertrain: Consists of dry-clutch type clutch and transmission.
Drilling unit: It consists of Morset part, cat head, crane and hydraulic part.
Skid: It is the chassis part.
Drill: It is the most important material of drilling. There are different types for each floor.
