Rig Check was developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in partnership with safety experts from the oil and gas extraction industry. It is made up of 35 inspection forms. The forms are designed to be used by rig workers to document the inspection of tools and equipment commonly found on rotary and workover rigs. Each inspection form includes instructions for assessing and recording the condition of the equipment. When applicable, relevant federal regulations and industry recommended practices are included.

The Rig Check inspection forms are an excellent training tool for short service employees, who may not be familiar with the tools and equipment found on oil and gas rigs. Small companies whose safety and health resources are limited may find Rig Check useful for enhancing their HSE programs.

Ensure that each well has an emergency response plan, which includes simple instructions for notifications in the event of a rig-based emergency. Notification protocols for medical emergencies, fire on the rig or location, gas release or loss of well control, or a security breach should all be included. In most cases, there will be contingency plans in place for the well that address notifications for long-term events that include notification of government agencies and outside well control expertise. These contingencies can be noted in the working plan but should not complicate the posted action plan.

LOCATIONS: Write locations of posted, current emergency response plans. These should be in central locations such as the rig doghouse, change house, Rig Supervisor’s office, Company Man’s office, and rig camp.

In addition, check that the response plan is posted anywhere emergency communications may be made, including the Rig Supervisor’s truck, and the guard shack.

ALARMS:Rig emergency alarms may be automatic or operated by personnel from various locations manually. Whichever the case, the alarms should be heard throughout the rig and on the location. The alarms should be distinctive and easy to identify as to their purpose. Alarms that work in conjunction with lights should be visible from the entrance of the location. It is a good practice to include a wind direction indicator in close proximity to the lights. All employees should be trained to activate manual alarms and understand what triggers automatic alarms.

DEVICES:Emergency shut-down devices (ESD) that will close off the combustion air should be installed on all of the rig’s diesel engines. It is important to understand just how particular ESD functions BEFORE you attempt to test it. Engine shutdowns or rig savers may damage engine components if they are engaged when the engine is running at speed. Careful plans should be made with the mechanics to develop a test protocol that will ensure the functionality of the devices without damaging the engine. In most cases, these devices can be checked with the engine shut down. Manual engine shutdown devices that shut off the fuel to the engines can also be tested while the engine is shut down.

SMOKE ALARMS:Smoke alarms in trailers and outbuildings should be function tested monthly or following a rig move. Note on the inspection form when batteries are changed each year.

the rig should have a written plan for calibrating and testing alarms and shutdown devices. The inspection should include a review of these documents to ensure new equipment and or rig modifications have not altered the function of the devices.

These checklists are not all inclusive. You may wish to add to them or delete portions that do not apply to your workplace. Carefully consider each item as you come to it and then make your decision. Do not spend time with items that have no application to your workplace.

Drilling rigs are some of the most dangerous workplaces or "sites" on Earth. Working on and around a drilling rig introduces many of the most dangerous hazards associated with industrial work including heights, dangerous chemicals, high pressures, explosive materials and more.

To prevent disasters and ensure that everyone working on these rigs does remain safe (and that the reputation of drilling and energy companies remains in tact), companies and workers engage in a number of safety procedures including drilling rig inspections.

These inspections are designed to guide an inspector, auditor or applicable person through a series of checklist questions which have been created to surface any obvious, urgent or problematic issues.

The template comes pre-built with sections for permits, site, stairs and ladders, the rig floor, fuel tanks, electrical systems, material handling and more.

You can also export the resulting checklist report, so that you can make your inspection process nice and efficient while having the convenience of perfectly formatted PDF reports as well.

Kelly bushings on oil drilling rigs that are smooth and do not present a potential hazard to employees that might come in contact with the bushings, do not require guarding.

The land drilling market worldwide is structured primarily as a rental market, not a sales market, where land drilling companies lease their rigs to E&P companies for an agreed period of time – weeks, months, or years – at a day-rate. The rigs are then used to drill wells and execute the E&P’s drilling programs.

Drilling opportunities are analysed and explored in order, leaving a series of dry holes, until a discovery is made. It is rare for an E&P company to actually own the rigs which they operate, but there are some exceptions such as Chesapeake, who will purchase their own fleet of rigs.

Investors require a minimum level of return for their investment dollars in drilling operations, and typically equate cost with risk. These turnkey drilling contracts may limit risk by guaranteeing a minimum number of wells that can be drilled with the rig. The contract will also outline how the rig can be used – including the pieces of equipment, when to change pieces, temperature and pressure tolerances and the weight of mud.

Nabors operates the world’s largest land drilling rig fleet, with around 500 rigs operating in over 25 countries – in almost every significant O&G basin on the planet. It also has the largest number of high-specification rigs (including new AC rigs and refurbished SCR rigs) and custom rigs, built to withstand challenging conditions such as extreme cold, desert and many complex shale plays.

Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, H&P is a global business with land operations across the US, as well as offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico. It is engaged primarily in the drilling of O&G wells for E&P companies, and recognised for its innovative FlexRig technology.

Patterson-UTI operates land based drilling rigs, primarily in O&G producing regions of the continental US, and western Canada. The company also provides pressure pumping services to US E&P companies and specialist technology, notably pipe handling components, to drilling contractors globally.

Precision is an oilfield services company and Canada’s largest drilling rig contractor, with over 240 rigs in operation worldwide. The Company has two segments. The Contract Drilling Services segment operates its rigs in Canada, the United States and internationally. The Completion and Production Services segment provides completion and workover services and ancillary services to O&G E&P companies in Canada and the US.

Pioneer operates a modern fleet of more than 24 top performing drilling rigs throughout onshore O&G producing regions of the US and Colombia. The company also offers production services include well servicing, wireline, and coiled tubing services – supported by 100 well-servicing rigs, and more than 100 cased-hole, open-hole and offshore wireline units.

In Texas, generally considered to be the centre of US land drilling, RigData reports that there are currently 678 active rigs – split between Helmerich & Payne (160), Patterson-UTI (85), Nabors (64), Precision Drilling (39) and 77 other drillers (330).

Most new onshore rigs, both drilling and work over rigs, are built by OEMs in China. In the US, the larger vertically integrated land drillers have in-house manufacturing operations, so they will outsource some equipment construction, but assemble the new rigs at their own facilities. The leading provider of US newbuild rigs is National Oilwell Varco.

The secondary market, where existing rigs are sold, is largely auction dominated with mostly older rigs changing hands. As a rule, the big land drillers do not sell their newbuild rigs, as each has their own flagship designs.
