Best tips when choosing a laybag

The use of the laybags is becoming so common, and this is because of the flexibility and comfort they have. Also, the good thing about the laybags is that is more convenient because you can carry them anywhere without having to worry about them occupying too much space. The reason for this is that they can be deflated thus becoming small to fit anywhere and inflating them back does not take that much time. Anyone can use them, it does not matter the body weight, and for you to fully enjoy them.

Shapes and sizes

They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. This will all be upon the person using the laybags to make a decision to what fits all the needs that he or she has. One thing that buyers should know it’s that when investing on the laybags they should not be selfish and go for something that anyone can use not only them. The laybag that can be used by anyone is the one that is of standard size, but when it comes to the shape, it’s all about the preference of the customers.

Material

The material of the laybags will determine the sustainability that you will enjoy that’s why you should not rush to get just anything. Before making a purchase ensure that the laybag that you are getting is durable. The laybag are to be used in any location, and they should not limit the clients that’s why before making a purchase enquire with the sales person if the laybags can be able to stand any location like the rocky surfaces and the concrete floors. Another thing to consider when checking the material is if it’s waterproof.

Price

If you are working on a budget, then you should make plans of going to the shop so that you can have realistic expectations and plans. When on the market don’t be rigid try to check other laybags that are not in the price range that you have at the moment and why they are a bit expensive. Don’t rely more on the price but the overall quality of the laybag and the features that each has. After checking out the laybags then it will be easy in making a decision because you can just choose something in the price range that you have and one that has all the features that you need.

Types of Drilling Structures And Rigs

There are various types of drilling structures and rigs. They are used in the drilling of petroleum or natural gas both offshore (marine) and onshore (land). The specific requirements determine the type of the rig selected for a particular site. Most of the modern rigs are either of “Jack-knife” Derrick or cantilevered mask type. These rigs can be assembled easily on the ground. You can then use power from hoisting system of from the draw-works to raise them to the vertical position.

Most of the modern drilling structures are made using prefabricated sections which are then assembled on the site. The individual parts of these structures are transported to the site by the use of trucks, helicopters, and barge. There are two categories of the offshore drilling rigs. These are floating and the fixed structure types.

Jack-up RigJack-up Rig

This is a rig which is capable of elevating itself. It is meant for smaller and offshore deposits. It has a floating platform which can be towed into its position by use of barges. This is followed by anchoring its legs to the sea floor for support. Finally, the rig is raised above the surface of the water.

 

Concrete platform or foundation

The offshore structures which are set using concrete are known for showing excellent performance. These structures are strong and very durable. This makes them more suitable for the arctic environment which is very harsh. This is an environment which carries heavy toptides. These structures are also equipped with storage capacities which are economical for the deep areas. Furthermore, the gravity type platforms do not require additional fixing because they have a large foundation.

Barge Rig

These are special rigs which areBarge Rig not anchored to the floor of the sea instead they float on the water surface. These are vessels which are not propelled. It is the burge which contains the drilling equipment. This device is towered to its location. Its hull is then filled with water. It is mainly used for drilling oil shallow areas such as swamps having a depth of less than 12 ft. However, the posted burge can be used for drilling at higher depths up to 20 ft.

Compliant tower

These ate types of tower rings which are almost similar to the fixed platforms. They are well anchored to hold the equipment above the water surface. It has a simple design which consists of a flexible and a narrow tower. It can, therefore, withstand any deflections caused by lateral forces.
