And here I thought, the most important equipment is the drilling engineer.
The most important equipment required in a drilling operation is a drilling rig. Drilling in offshore environment makes it more expensive and complex with much higher risk. In this talk, you will be introduced to the different types of drilling rigs used for offshore drilling operations. Each rig type is specific for a limited drilling operation, environment and local market condition. Selecting a rig requires understanding of both technical and commercial requirements. In addition, the talk shall also be covering the various major equipment you can find on the rig.
