Drill Ship
A Drill Ship, also known as a Floater, is like a ship. It has a drilling rig and all associated equipment for drilling a well. It has a self-propulsion mechanism and can venture into ultra-deepwater to drill remote offshore locations. Drill ships are used for drilling wells in 1,000 feet to 10,000 feet water depths. Drillships use advanced dynamic positioning systems to maintain their position over the drilling location without anchors. These rigs are highly mobile and can be quickly deployed to different locations.
