The derrick is composed of a main body, a crane platform, a crane platform, a two-story platform, a riser platform and a working ladder. According to the main features of the overall structure, the rig derrick can be divided into four basic types: tower derrick, front open derrick, A-type derrick and mast derrick.
A derrick is either a crane for lifting material or a framework over an oil well that allows the drilling machinery to be raised and lowered. A 17th century English hangman named Derrick led to a gallows being called a derrick.
About Oil DerricksThe classic oil derrick pump is known colloquially as a sucker rod pump, named for the plunger-like mechanics it uses to pump oil from underground wells up to the surface. It uses a series of gears and cranks to pump a polished rod up and down an oil well in a piston-like motion, albeit much slower.
The gin pole is derived from a gyn, and considered a form of derrick, called a standing derrick or pole derrick, distinguished from sheers (or shear legs) by having a single boom rather than a two-legged one.
On August 27, 1859, George Bissell and Edwin L. Drake made the first successful use of a drilling rig on a well drilled especially to produce oil, at a site on Oil Creek near Titusville, Pennsylvania.

(4) The lines or tackle used to steady or swing booms are usually known as guys. When led to a source of power, however, guys are called vangs. Guys may be outboard, inboard, or amidship. An amidships is sometimes called the lay guy or the schooner guy.
Boom – Telescopic or fixed arm that is used to move objects. Crane lattice booms are usually in two basic sections, tip and base. Such booms may be lengthened by insertion of one or more additional extension sections. Load – The total superimposed weight on the hoist load block or hook.
The average cost for offshore rigs can be as much as 15 to 20 times greater than the average cost for land rigs. The least-expensive offshore rigs typically cost nearly $200 million. The average price for offshore oil-drilling rigs is approximately $650 million.
The machine used to drill a wellbore.
1. n. [Drilling] The machine on the rig consisting of a large-diameter steel spool, brakes, a power source and assorted auxiliary devices. The primary function of the drawworks is to reel out and reel in the drilling line, a large diameter wire rope, in a controlled fashion.
In general, oil rig workers only need to be 18 or older, have a high school diploma, and pass a pre-employment drug test. Successful applicants have usually pursued oil rig training independently or bring transferable skills to the job.
A simple derrick by itself is not of much use because if it is to discharge cargo it is to be plumbed over the hatch and then overside, to avoid this tedious action a system with two derricks called the union purchase system is used.

[′kär·gō ‚büm] (mechanical engineering) A long spar extending from the mast of a derrick to support or guide objects lifted or suspended.
Cranes are acceptably safer to operate because of their simplicity, where derrick rigs can be overly complicated in rigging and operation. Cranes can easily service two hatches, or twin hatches in the fore and aft direction because of their 360° slew ability.
Disadvantages of Tower Crane
- These cranes are very expensive and they require time, effort and money to be shifted from one area to another.
- They have a high maintenance cost for repairs and depreciation.
- They have a major labor-intensive to install.
A crane vessel, crane ship or floating crane is a ship with a crane specialized in lifting heavy loads. On a sheerleg crane, the crane is fixed and cannot rotate, and the vessel therefore is manoeuvered to place loads.
Strong Enough to Handle Many Lifting Tasks: While mobile cranes are significantly smaller when compared to other types of cranes, this crane is powerful enough to lift heavy objects. With multiple axles and improved hydraulic power, mobile cranes can still hoist heavy objects and materials to great heights.
[′der·ik ‚bärj] (petroleum engineering) A crane barge used in offshore drilling platform construction and suitable for work in rough seas.
- Deck cranes – Cranes that do not handle cargo: provision cranes, hose handling cranes, etc. - Floating cranes – Usually barge type hulls provided with large cranes used for various heavy lift tasks, salvage and wreck removals. Semi-submersible crane ships are used to carry out offshore installation work.
