drilling rig

A drilling rig is a large, complex machine used to create deep holes in the Earth's surface for extracting natural resources like oil and gas. It consists of towering structures, heavy-duty drill bits, and advanced equipment that work together to bore through rock layers. The rig provides stability, controls the drill's movement, and manages the circulation of drilling fluids that cool the equipment and carry cuttings to the surface. Drilling rigs are essential for exploring and developing underground reservoirs, enabling the production of energy resources safely and efficiently.
