    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_table_(drilling_rig)

    A rotary table is a mechanical device on a drilling rig that provides clockwise (as viewed from above) rotational force to the drill string to facilitate the process of drilling a borehole. Rotary speed is the number of times the rotary table makes one full revolution in one minute (rpm).

    The wood helps to protect the end of the drill pipe. Rotary table (#20) rotates, along with its constituent parts, the kelly and kelly bushing, the drill string and the attached tools and bit. Shale shaker (#2) separates drill cuttings from the drilling fluid before it is pumped back down the wellbore.

    Simple diagram of a drilling rig and its basic operation. The kelly drive is #19. A kelly drive is a type of well drilling device on an oil or gas drilling rig that employs a section of pipe with a polygonal (three-, four-, six-, or eight-sided) or splined outer surface, which passes through the matching polygonal or splined kelly (mating) bushing and rotary table.

  5. Depth in a well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_in_a_well

    Petrophysicists and drilling operations tend to express depths with reference to the rotary table or the original drill floor; geologists tend to use a common datum such as the mean sea level; geophysicists use the mean sea level. This can introduce much confusion when a unit is not specified with all 3 components: unit, path, and reference.

  6. Roughneck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughneck

    Iron roughneck is also a specialized equipment used in oil drilling operations. [1] Whether the pipe is being fed into the wellbore or it is being taken out, the iron roughneck uses a rotary table and torque wrench(es) to make up or break down the pipe. [2] In Canada on land-based rigs, the term roughneck refers to the floorhand. [citation needed]

  7. Top drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_drive

    The top drive allows the drilling rig to drill the longer section of a stand of drill pipe in one operation. [1] A rotary table type rig can only drill 30-foot (9.1 m) (single drill pipe) sections of drill pipe whereas a top drive can drill 60–90-foot (18–27 m) stands (double and triple drill pipe respectively, a triple being three joints of drillpipe screwed together), depending on the ...

  8. Rotary table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_table

    10 inch, manual rotary table. A rotary table is a precision work positioning device used in metalworking. It enables the operator to drill or cut work at exact intervals around a fixed (usually horizontal or vertical) axis. Some rotary tables allow the use of index plates for indexing operations, and some can also be fitted with dividing plates ...

  9. Drilling rig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_rig

    The technique of oil drilling through percussion or rotary drilling has its origins dating back to the ancient Chinese Han dynasty in 100 BC, where percussion drilling was used to extract natural gas in the Sichuan province. [1] Early oil and gas drilling methods were seemingly primitive as it required several technical skills.
