Derrick equipment for drilling and harvesting fossil fuels includes structural members, floor drilling tools, cleaning equipment, engines, and heavy equipment. Maintenance requires a variety of equipment, and parts are often interchangeable. Drill floor equipment includes power tools and workforce facilities, while blowout prevention mechanisms and fluid systems support drilling operations. Cleaning equipment is necessary, and storage areas are included for materials. Other derrick equipment includes pumps, motors, electricity, vehicles, and heavy equipment.
Many types of derrick equipment are used for drilling and harvesting fossil fuels. The equipment used may include structural members, floor drilling tools, drilling equipment, cleaning equipment, engines, and assorted, often heavy equipment. Derrick parts are often interchangeable, a precaution taken in case of breakages or errors during a derrick’s service life. The maintenance and smooth operation of many loading towers usually requires a variety of equipment, depending on the location of the tower and the materials being harvested.
Structural equipment is often similar across the various types of drilling and harvesting. The derrick is the metal frame to which most of the working parts are attached. Derrick equipment often includes environmentally based stabilization designs and other safety measures. The structure can change drastically between, for example, marine and land-based drilling rigs. Other important types of derrick equipment related to structure are the nuts, bolts and connectors used to hold everything together.
Drill floor equipment can include anything used to perform drilling and harvesting operations. This could be power tools such as air guns or power sprayers for routine cleaning. Depending on the location, workforce facilities may also be required. Derrick equipment on the floor of the drill is also closely related to the drilling equipment.
Bits, cutters and blowout prevention mechanisms are especially important during the early stages of a tower’s service life. Many other systems are designed to support drilling operations both early and later in the tower’s service life. Additional derrick equipment may include fluid systems used to lubricate and facilitate drilling. This fluid is usually pumped onto the cutting surface of a drill bit and then pumped out along with the material being drilled.
Cleaning equipment is often needed for the life of a tower, because materials such as crude oil, mud and water can seep onto the tower equipment and create a mess. As a result, pressure washers and other tools are often required. Additionally, a storage area can be included on or near a picking tower for materials other than what is being picked. Separation of materials on site is common and storage is often required. A sludge tank, for example, is usually intended to hold contaminated or otherwise unusable deposits separate from the main resource.
Other derrick equipment might include the pumps and motors used to harvest materials and operate all other necessary equipment. Electricity is often needed to maintain operations such as pumping and cleaning, and derrick equipment often includes related items. Vehicles and heavy equipment may also be required to operate and maintain a drilling rig.
