Drilling Personnel - ANSWERS1) toolpusher; 2) driller; 3) derrickhand; 4) rotary helpers; 5) roustabouts;
6) company representative
Contract Types - ANSWERS1) footage contract; 2) daywork contract; 3) turnkey contract; 4) combination
agreement
The Hoisting System - ANSWERS1) derrick; 2) drawworks; 3) drilling line

The Power System - ANSWERS1) mechanical drive; 2) electric drive
The Circulating System - ANSWERS1) equipment; 2) drilling fluids
Fishing / Freeing Stuck Pipe - ANSWERS1) reasons for stuck pipe; 2) fishing tools/techniques & stuck pipe
tools / techniques
, toolpusher - ANSWERScontractors top manager on drill site, responsible for rigs overall operation and
performance. Makes sure crew drills well to operators specifications (aka rig superintendent or rig
manager)
driller - ANSWERSsubordinate only to toolpusher, operates drilling machinery, manages day to day
activities of the derrick hand and rotary helpers
derrick hand - ANSWERSlooks after the mud pumps and sometimes monitors and records the conditions
of mud, they handle the pipe from a platform on top of the derrick
rotary helpers - ANSWERShandle the bottom of the pipe on the rig floor when pipe is removed from or
put into the hole (aka floorhands or roughnecks)
roustabouts - ANSWERSassist in loading and unloading equipment and supplies delivered by boat to the
rig, on land rigs they're called lease hands
company representative - ANSWERSrepresentative representative of the operator on the drilling
location. Responsible for issues on location such as safety and efficiency
contract - ANSWERSagreement between the operator and the contractor that spells out what each is
expected to do and provide to drill the well to specifications
footage contract - ANSWERSoperator agrees to pay the contractor a certain amount for each foot drilled.
Riskier for the contractor because the operator pays the contractor certain amount regardless of the
time it takes
daywork contract - ANSWERSmost common, operator pays the contractor an amount per day to use the
rig, regardless of how much work the rig is performing, paid by hour not by foot
turnkey contract - ANSWERSrequires the operator to pay the drilling contractor an agreed amount when
the well is finished. The contractor will furnish all equipment, materials, and people needed to drill,
operator assumes all financial risk
