Objectives

At the end of this section, the student will be able to: identify the various steps and sequences in the rig up process describe the operation of the individual components and how

these components work in conjunction with each other state safety issues involved in the rig up process

Through the facilitation of lecture, video, models, graphics/ diagrams/flow charts, question and answer, discussion, problem solving, group work, and identification resulting in the student possessing adequate knowledge necessary to understand and participate in the rig up process.

Rig Up Process

The rig up process is the process of preparing the drilling rig for making hole. This allows the tools and machinery to be installed before drilling is started.

Note The note symbol indicates that additional information is provided

about the current topics.

Caution The caution symbol indicates that potential damage to

equipment or injury to personnel exists. Follow instructions explicitly. Extreme care should be taken when performing operations or procedures preceded by this caution symbol.

Warning The warning symbol indicates a definite risk of equipment

damage or danger to personnel. Failure to observe and follow proper procedures could result in serious or fatal injury to personnel, significant property loss, or significant equipment damage.

Ground Pressure Loading

It is important to understand the Ground Pressure Loading of the Rapid Rig to: Prevent hazardous conditions created by settling of the

equipment during rig up and normal operation. Ensure the rig is stable during drilling operations.

If the rig goes out of level you can have improperly drilled holes and most likely will have difficulty aligning pipe joints.

Rig Mats must be used to distribute the load of the substructure during rig up and normal operations.

Raising the Mast

Once the sub/drill floor is in place the mast must be raised. Deliver the mast shipping package containing the

traveling block, top drive, iron roughneck and drill line. Place the drilling spooler control valve in float and remove

the drill line spooler from the base of the mast.

Raising the Mast

Raising should be smooth and unhurried. Watch for any snagged lines or obstacles during raising.

After pinning the mast raising cylinders to the mast, the cylinder positioning control levers must be set to the float position. Failure to do so could cause damage to the structure or cylinders. These cylinders should have all the air bled out to ensure full control of the load

Raising the Mast

Remove the safety pins from the front mast latch pins. Install the tugger line in the crown boom.

Remove the rig up line from the mast. Swing down the gooseneck and unpin the crown boom. Install the kelly hose.

Swing all platforms into location and pin in place. Deploy the mast raising cylinders, raising the mast.

Do not lower the mast below horizontal! Lowering below horizontal can cause major structural failure at the foot/pedestal and rollers.
