The students were given an HSE induction by the crew to help understand the importance of HSE

on drilling facilities and also in the Oil and Gas industry. The safety protocol, colour-coding

system, alarm systems and other company safety rules were explained. The students were also

provided with PPE (personnel protection equipment) to prevent any unwanted mishaps as

maintenance work was ongoing on the facility.

The students were also provided with lunch in the Rig cafeteria and the hospitality was impeccable

and all students were satisfied.

The crew first took students to see the rig floor; here the crew explained all the equipment present

such as the TDS (Top Drive System), crown block, travelling block, draw-works, driller’s cabin etc. The

draw-works was an E-2100 Ideco model with a rating of 2100 H.P. The students were then led to

see where the MWD team and Logging team set up their workstations during the time of drilling.

Also, the students were taken to the mud lab. Following this, the BOP system and circulation

systems were shown. The rig allows storage for two BOP stacks simultaneously. Also, while

drilling a comprehensive project the rig is jacked-up in one location and the cantilever and rig

floor move aft, starboard, port and bow sides with the help of pneumatic systems in place and by

the use of skids.

The Well Control System was the next stop. Here the students learned about why nitrogen

canisters are necessary and how they are used for Well-Control. Also, various mechanisms of the

Rotary Table and Hoisting System was explained by Aban crew

BOP system was explained. After this, the mud circulation system was introduced. Here

equipment’s such as the Shale Shaker, Degasser, Desander, Desilter, Poor Boy Gas Separator and

all the complex flow lines were explained. As the rig is designed for handling H2S all the tanks

are enclosed ones.

Following this, the Mud Pumps were shown to the students and how they operate was explained.

There were two single-action triplex mud pumps. These were supported by two individual

superchargers. The purpose and the importance of every aspect of equipment present on board

were explained and how each system is necessary for smooth operations. Students were then taken

to the engine room and the electric control room.

The entire visit was a huge success and the students had a great experience both learning wise as

well as practically. The knowledge gained in books is only supplemented by practical knowledge

gained in this fashion and the importance of such visits cannot be discounted.

The visit would not have been possible without the support of IADC and Shri. Arun Karle.

We would also like to thank Shaleen Sharma Kumar, Shreya Singh, Arun Kumar Kailasan,
