A kelly drive refers to a type of well drilling device on an oil or gas drilling rig that employs a
section of pipe with a polygonal or splined outer surface. It is located above the Rotary Table
and under Swivel
A rotary table is a mechanical device on a drilling rig that provides clockwise rotational force to
the drill string to facilitate the process of drilling a borehole. It is located above the bell nipple,
next to the setback and in the drill floor and under the Kelly drive.
DRILL FLOOR (21)
The drill floor is the heart of any drilling rig. This is the area where the drill string begins its trip
into the earth. It is surrounding the Rotary table
A Bell nipple is a section of large diameter pipe fitted to the top of the blowout preventers that
the flow line attaches to via a side outlet, to allow the drilling fluid to flow back over the shale
shakers to the mud tanks.
A blowout preventer (BOP) is a large, specialized valve or similar mechanical device, used to
seal, control and monitor oil and gas wells to prevent blowouts. It is located above drill string
and bell nipple.
DRILL STRING (25)
A drill string on a drilling rig is a column, or string, of drill pipe that transmits drilling fluid (via
the mud pumps) and torque (via the kelly drive or top drive) to the drill bit.
Drill bits are cutting tools used to remove material to create holes. It is located at the bottom of
the derrick.
WELLHEAD (27)
Drill bits are cutting tools used to remove material to create holes.
FLOW LINE (28)
A flow line, used on a drilling rig, is a large diameter pipe (typically a section of casing) that is
connected to the bell nipple(under the drill floor) and extends to the possum belly (on the mud
tanks) and acts as a return line, (for the drilling fluid as it comes out of the hole), to the mud
tanks.
SPANISH
WELLHEAD (27)
Las brocas son herramientas de corte utilizadas para eliminar material y crear agujeros.
FLOW LINE (28)
Una línea de flujo, utilizada en una plataforma de perforación, es una tubería de gran diámetro
(típicamente una sección de la carcasa) que está conectada a la boquilla (debajo del piso de
perforación) y se extiende a la panza (en los tanques de lodo) y actúa como una línea de
retorno, (para el fluido de perforación a medida que sale del agujero), a los tanques de lodo.
