Basic Drilling Rig
Baker Hughes

[Quiz] Emerging Technology

[Quiz] AI System Spending by Sector

Basic drilling rigs contain a derrick (tower), a drilling pipe, a large winch to lower and lift out the drilling pipe, a drilling table which rotates the drilling pipe and bit, a mud mixer and pump and an engine to drive the table and winch. Small drilling rigs used to drill exploratory or seismic wells may be mounted on trucks for movement from site to site. Larger drilling rigs are either erected onsite or have portable, hinged (jackknife) derricks for easy handling and erection.

Are exploratory or seismic rigs sometimes mounted on trucks?
