First Mat Placement
Storyboard Text
- Topic For Today: FIRST MAT PLACEMENT
- Good question: The term "first mat placement" in a rig move refers to the initial positioning of the rig's drilling mats at the new well site. Drilling mats, also known as rig mats or access mats, are large, heavy-duty platforms that are placed on the ground to provide a stable and level surface for the drilling rig and associated equipment. These mats are especially crucial when the drilling site is in an area with challenging terrain, such as soft or uneven ground.
- Excuse sir what is meant by the first mat placement in a rig move
- Right so, Digging the mouse hole, rat hole, cellar hole and conductor hole precisely is necessary to ensure correct placement of the first mat and to ensure the flare line is not pointing to the access road. A pad (wood matting) is first placed on the ground and then the rig is assembled on the pad. The first piece of matting is placed in a very distinct position in relation to the lease, mouse hole and rat hole.
- Sir, What is the process of the First Mat Placement?
- Finally when placing the first pieces of matting, it is important to keep open holes covered. The components are modularized; once the matting is in place, the largest of rigs can be up and drilling quickly.
- Interesting
- So basically if the first mat is placed incorrectly, then the rest of the rig components will be positioned incorrectly
