Rig types
Rig types refer to different setups used for drilling and extracting resources like oil or gas. Land rigs are stationary structures set up on the ground, while offshore rigs are built to operate at sea; these include fixed platforms, which are anchored to the ocean floor, and floating rigs like drillships and semi-submersibles that can move with the water’s surface. Each rig type is designed based on the location, water depth, and project needs, ensuring safe and efficient access to underground or underwater resource reserves.
