Rig Building

Rig Building is the process of erecting a drilling or workover rig on a new land location. Once the operations on a location are completed, the mast is lowered and dismantled from specific joints. All the rig equipment are disconnected and transported by road to new location. At the new location, all the pieces of mast are joined. Once all accessory equipment are connected, the mast is raised as part of the process to get the rig ready for operations.
