Drilling Rig Substructure Overview

The substructure supports the drawworks, rotary table, and derrick stands. It has an identification plate with details like the builder, API standard, serial number, height, and load capacities. Substructure dimensions are proportional to rig power. There are two main types - box on box, which uses modular boxes to raise the rig floor height, and high floor structures, which accommodate taller BOP stacks. Rig up systems for erecting the substructure include the swing up method using the drawworks and swing lift or sling shot methods using hydraulic pistons or cables. Periodic inspections of the substructure are required every six months.

These have been developed to accommodatehigher BOP stacks and [Link] each builder has their own model, they allhave the following characteristics:Enables the drawworks and derrick to be rigged upat ground level, eliminating the need for big cranes;Uses the rig's drawworks to raise the floor andderrick (some models use hydraulic pistons). 4.4 RIG UP SYSTEMS "SWING UP" - PYRAMID "SWING LIFT" - BRANHAM "SLING SHOT" - DRECO - SWING UP - P YR AMID Drawwork lifts the mast, the substructure and the complete rig [Link] 2 main lifts are required - 1st lift to pick up mast and part of rig floor

- SLING SHOT DR E CO Dedicated hydraulic pistons to lift derrick, substructure and complete rig floor. Lifting sequence - Beginning - After 3 minutes - After 6 minutes - After 9 minutes

4.5 INSPECTIONS Periodical inspections Substructure, derrick and lifting equipment must have periodical inspections, (every six months)following the builder's instructions and the API regulations: API RP 4G ed API RP 54. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ISO 13534. ENI rules ask also a complete re-certification of the derrick/mast every 5 years.
