Drilling Equipment For Sale

About Drilling Equipment

The drilling equipment category is a vast and varied one that contains numerous individual components that work collectively to bring a drilling operation to life, whether the operation is aimed at bringing natural gas, water, or oil to the surface. Drill rigs—rotary, mobile, trailer-mounted, onshore, offshore, and others—have their own equipment category on OilfieldTrader.com, but that still leaves scads of other new and used drilling equipment for sale, including various pumps and motors, shale shakers, power swivels, blowers, and rotary tables.

Types Of Drilling Equipment

Generally, drilling equipment can be divided into a handful of major categories, including pumps, pump handling equipment, hoisting equipment, drill bits, rotating equipment, solids control equipment, well control equipment, and top drives. Within each of these categories, however, are scores of other equipment types.

Pumps, for example, can include centrifugal, duplex, triplex, quintuplex, rotary, vacuum, water injection, and pump package options. Elsewhere, well control equipment, which is used to control oil flow, includes manifolds and blowout preventers, while the solids control equipment category includes mud pumps and tanks, shale shakers, mud agitators, mud-gas separators, desanders, desilters, and degassers that work together to remove materials from oil.

In addition to rotating equipment, which includes Kellys, Kelly bushings, rotary tables, safety equipment, and power swivels, other examples of drilling equipment include electric motors, pipe handling trailer systems, block and hook combinations, hex pumps, pipes, ram blocks, hammer grabs, drill pipe elevators, cable reels, hoists, winches, tongs, drawworks, crown blocks, masts, tri-cone bits, and hooks.

Some leading manufacturers and brands of drilling equipment include Gardner-Denver, Grant Prideco, Hydril, National Oilwell Varco (NOV), and Web Wilson.
