c) To offer a safe and accessible workspace for the derrickman.
2. What does the term "Tribbleboard" refer to? a) A platform positioned at a height equivalent to two pipe lengths. b) A platform designed specifically for handling heavy equipment. c) A platform positioned at a height equivalent to three pipe lengths. d) A platform located at the top of the derrick.
c) A platform positioned at a height equivalent to three pipe lengths.
3. Which of the following tasks is NOT typically performed by a derrickman on a monkeyboard platform? a) Connecting pipe sections. b) Installing and removing equipment. c) Operating the drilling mud pumps. d) Inspecting pipe and equipment.
c) Operating the drilling mud pumps.
4. What safety feature is commonly found on monkeyboard platforms? a) Automatic safety harnesses for the derrickman. b) Secure handrails and guardrails. c) Built-in fire extinguishers. d) Emergency escape ladders.
b) Secure handrails and guardrails.
5. What is the main benefit of having multiple monkeyboard platforms at different heights? a) It allows for faster drilling speeds. b) It provides access to various levels within the derrick for different tasks. c) It reduces the need for specialized equipment. d) It improves the aesthetics of the drilling rig.
b) It provides access to various levels within the derrick for different tasks.
Scenario: You are the derrickman on a drilling rig. The drilling crew needs to install a new blowout preventer (BOP) on the wellhead. The BOP is located on the rig floor, and it needs to be lifted to the top of the wellhead, which is several pipe lengths above the rig floor.
Task: Using your knowledge of monkeyboard platforms, describe the steps involved in safely lifting and installing the BOP, including which platforms you would use and why.
Here's a possible solution:
1. **Assess the BOP's weight and size:** Determine the appropriate lifting equipment and platform for the job. 2. **Select the appropriate monkeyboard platform:** Based on the height required to reach the wellhead, I would choose the "Fourable Board" platform. This provides sufficient height and a stable workspace for the installation. 3. **Position the platform:** Using the rig's hoist, carefully raise the "Fourable Board" platform to the desired height, ensuring it is securely locked in place. 4. **Rig the BOP:** Attach the appropriate lifting gear (e.g., slings, chains) to the BOP, ensuring it's balanced and secure. 5. **Lift the BOP:** Using the rig's crane, carefully lift the BOP and guide it towards the wellhead. Ensure a clear path is maintained throughout the lift. 6. **Position and install:** Once the BOP is above the wellhead, carefully guide it into position for installation. 7. **Secure the BOP:** Use appropriate tools and techniques to securely install the BOP on the wellhead, following safety procedures and ensuring proper sealing. 8. **Lower the platform:** Once the BOP is installed, safely lower the "Fourable Board" platform to the rig floor.
