Drill floor

From petrofaq
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The drill floor is the area where the drill string begins its trip into the earth. It is traditionally where joints of pipe are assembled, as well as the BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly), drilling bit, and various other tools. This is the primary work location for roughnecks and the driller. The drill floor is located directly under the derrick.
