Drillships

Drillships

Drillship rigs are maritime vessels that have been outfitted with drilling apparatus. Most often used for exploratory drilling of new oil and gas wells in deep water, drillships can also be used as platforms to carry out well maintenance or completion work such as casing and tubing installation or subsea tree installations.

Semisubmersibles

Drillships

Semisubmersible rigs are floating offshore drilling units with pontoons and columns that cause the units to be partially submerged to a predetermined depth when sea water is permitted to enter. Moored semisubmersible rigs are held in a fixed location over the ocean floor using mooring that is similar to having multiple anchors.

Jackup

Jackup

Jackup rigs stand on the ocean floor with their hull and drilling equipment elevated above the water on connected leg supports. Jackup rigs are generally preferred over other rig types in water depths of 400 feet or less, primarily because jackup rigs provide a more stable drilling platform with above water blowout prevention equipment.
