A valve installed above the kelly that can be closed manually to protect the rotary hose from high pressure that may exist in the drill stem.
Industry:Oil & gas
1. a mechanism used to transmit power from the engines to the pump, the drawworks, and other machinery on a drilling rig. It is composed of clutches, chains and sprockets, belts and pulleys, and a number of shafts, both driven and driving.
2. to connect two or more power producing devices, such as engines, to run driven equipment, such as the drawworks.
Industry:Oil & gas

Industry:Oil & gas
A diesel engine; an engine in which the fuel/air mixture inside the engine cylinders is ignited by the heat that occurs when the fuel-air mixture is highly compressed by the engine pistons.
Industry:Oil & gas
To prepare the drilling rig for making hole, for example, to instal tools and machinery before drilling is started.

Industry:Oil & gas
1. the ability to transmit or convey (as heat or electricity). 2. an electrical logging measurement obtained from an induction survey, in which eddy currents produced by an alternating magnetic field induce in a receiver coil a voltage proportionate to the ability of the formation to conduct electricity. See induction log.
