摘要:
A guide mat for a slant service or drill rig. The guide mat comprises rearward and forward portions and an open area in the rearward portion which is used to allow access to a wellhead. Adjustable pedestals are provided which move in orthogonal planes to the plane of the guide mat and thereby allow for convenient pinning of the mast of the rig to the mat such that the mast is maintained in its correct operating position while the drilling and/or service operations are underway.

A drill rig installation has, for handling the elongate tubular well elements (22,24), a handling boom (30) provided with grabs (36) to lift the tubulars from the strongbacks (20) and present them at the drilling axis (D). For this purpose the boom (30) has pivot mountings (32,38) for movements about a vertical axis and a horizontal axis respectively, and the grabs (36) are displaceable transversely from the boom. A support pad (170) for the tubular elements is transversely displaceable on the boom jointly with the grabs. The installation further comprises a gridform base (2) providing a fixed platform on which a drilling derrick (8) can be slid to different grid positions to drill a series of bore holes. The base grid also carries the store of tubular elements (22,24) and trolleys (90) that register the elements with the handling boom (30), and other ancillary equipment such as slips and torque wrench machines (110,116) for assembling and dismantling drill strings.
摘要:
A working deck configured to access offshore well heads, wherein the working deck comprises a barge, transverse beams fixed to an upper surface of the barge, at least two cantilever beams attachable on to the transverse beams, and a work platform positioned on the at least two cantilever beams and being movable in a lateral direction of the cantilever beams.

A dual tower rig includes a hull supported by one or more legs and includes a cantilever assembly coupled to the hull. Dual towers are supported by a skidding system that is coupled to the cantilever assembly. The towers are configured to conduct independent operations and are movable relative to each other and to the hull by the skidding system and the cantilever assembly.
摘要:
The present invention relates in some embodiments to a bottom supported drilling unit having two drilling stations for independently drilling (or otherwise working on) two wells simultaneously from a cantilever.
摘要:
Drilling installation comprising a cantilever with a drilling floor for performing drilling operations; further comprising an independent operations handling system arranged for handling equipment underneath the drilling floor independent of the drilling operations on the drilling floor, wherein the independent operations handling system comprises a handling element for co-operation with the equipment to be handled, wherein the handling element is extendible underneath the cantilever.
摘要:
A system including a setback and racking system (140) and a set of wellbay accesses (130), at least a portion of the setback and racking system positioned at an elevation lower than the elevation of the wellbay accesses. A system including a centrally located setback and racking system, a set of wellbay accesses, and at least one peripheral skidding system (120), wherein the setback and racking system is positioned at least partially below the elevation of the peripheral skidding system. A system including at least one peripheral skidding system and a set of wellbay accesses positioned along a wellbay access perimeter surrounding a central focus that is not an integral part of the peripheral skidding system. A method of drilling by aligning each of at least two drilling modules with a respective wellbay access via a peripheral skidding system and operating at least two drilling modules at least partially simultaneously.
