To permits easy gripping for transmission of rotary motion

Kelly is to be connected to the top drive system for rotating the drill string. True or False
False

To house one drill pipe joint and helps making the connection

What is the major function of rig power system?

Rotating, Hoisting, mud circulation, running mud cleaning equipment and operating BOP

Primary function of the circulating system is

To remove drill cuttings from the hole

What is the major function of the drill collars

To provide sufficient weight on the drill bit (WOB), and make sure drillstring is always in
tension.

Which of the following item is the essential part of Hoisting system?

mud pump
drawworks
shale shaker
hydrocyclone
drawworks

Is stabilizer a part of Bottom Hole Assembly?

Yes

Increasing mud volume (mud gain) is an indication of

Taking a kick

A drill bit size is 20 inch. In principle this bit should drill a hole with diameter of

Chance of taking kick increases during

Tripping pipe or pulling pipe out of the hole (POOH)

Lost circulation is most likely to occur during

Drilling a hole
