land rigs
Land rigs are large, mobile structures used for drilling oil and natural gas wells on land. They consist of various components, including a drilling platform, derrick, and equipment for handling drilling fluids. These rigs can be transported to different locations, allowing companies to access various oil and gas reserves.
The operation of land rigs involves several steps, including drilling, casing, and completing the well. Workers on these rigs, often referred to as roughnecks, operate machinery and ensure safety protocols are followed. Land rigs play a crucial role in the energy industry by helping to extract valuable resources from beneath the Earth's surface.
