drilling fluid. Joints of pipe 30 feet long are coupled

2.1 The Derrick and Substructure:
The function of the derrick is to provide the vertical height required to raise
sections of pipe from or lower them into the hole. The greater the height, the
longer the section of pipe that can be handled and, thus, the faster a long
string of pipe can be inserted in or removed from the hole. The most
commonly used drillpipe is between 27 and 30 ft long.
In addition to their height, derricks are rated according to their ability to
withstand compressive loads and wind loads. Allowable wind loads usually
are specified both with the drillstring in the hole and with the drillstring
standing in sections in the derrick. When the drillstring is standing in the
derrick resting against the pipe-racking platform, an overturning moment is
applied to the derrick at that point. Wind ratings must be computed

Substructure:
To provide working space below the derrick floor like for pressure control
valves called blowout preventers, the derrick usually is elevated above the
ground level by placement on a substructure. The substructure must support
not only the derrick with its load but also the weight of other large pieces of
equipment. The choice of design usually is governed by blowout preventer
height and local soil conditions.
API recommends rating substructure load-supporting capacity accordingly:
The maximum pipe weight that can be set back in the derrick
The maximum pipe weight that can be suspended in the rotary table.
The corner loading capacity (maximum supportable load at each
corner).

Catheads
The Drum transmits the torque required for hoisting or braking. It also stores
the drilling line required to move the traveling block the length of the derrick.
The Brakes must have the capacity to stop and sustain the great weights
imposed when lowering a string of pipe into the hole. Auxiliary brakes are
used to help dissipate the large amount of heat generated during braking.
Two types of auxiliary brakes commonly used are the Hydrodynamic type
and the Electromagnetic type. For the hydrodynamic type, braking is
provided by water being impelled in a direction opposite to the rotation of
the drum. In the electromagnetic type, electrical braking is provided by two
opposing magnetic fields. In both types, the heat developed must be
dissipated by a liquid cooling system.
The draw works Transmission provides a means for easily changing the
direction and speed of the traveling block. Power also must be transmitted to
catheads attached to both ends of the draw works.
The Cathead is a spool-shaped attachment on a winch around which rope
for hoisting and pulling is wound.

stem, out the Bit. It does a sharp Uturn and heads back up the hole in the
Annulus.The annulus is the space between the outside of the drill string and
sides of the hole. As it flows up the annulus, the mud carries the cuttings
made by the bit.
