Oil and Gas Drill Rigs

The following details information on oil and gas drill rigs.

Accommodations Module: Houses the sleeping and eating quarters, along with meeting rooms and offices. Includes the Temporary Safe Refuge (TSR) in case of an emergency.
Cranes: Allow for the transfer of materials to and from support vessels and the platform. These are additionally used to move heavy objects from one part of the platform to another.
Derricks: Often are mounted on movable skids. These derricks drill the wells.
Flame Boom: Usually located on one side of oil and gas drill rigs. This flame boom is aimed away from the platform and is used to flare gas during upset conditions (a pilot flame is maintained at the top for this purpose.
Drilling Muds Module: Area of the platform which is used to create a compound of chemicals, water and clay. These muds are continuously pumped down the drill pipe through holes in the drill bit. This helps to cool the bit, while also washing the drilled cuttings away from the bottom of the hole.
Process Module: In this area gas and water are separated from the oil. The water is then treated and discharged into the ocean.
Lifeboat System: In most cases there will be more lifeboats available than required for the number of people on board. Once released, these lifeboats will drop into the ocean, where they can then be motored to a safe place or back to land.
Ice Wall Teeth: - Used on oil and gas drill rigs which are located in areas which are at risk due to passing ice bergs. This Ice Wall (located below the platform) is designed to distribute the impact of an iceberg hit over the entire structure.
