ICE-RESISTANT MONOPOD SELF-RISING FLOATING DRILLING RIG Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC E02B17/02 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: ice-resistant monopod self-rising floating drilling rig has a support base and an upper body with a sliding console and a drilling tower, mounted as capable of vertical displacement by means of climbing the support pillar, firmly attached with the support base. The support pillar of the rig is arranged as transparent. The diameter of the specified support pillar makes at least 0.25 and not more than 0.3 of the support base diameter. To protect the drilled well against ice impact, the rig is equipped with a protective pillar, mounted in the space under the drilling tower with the possibility of deepening into soil and attached with the upper end to the upper body of the rig. For the possibility to evacuate the well upon completion of drilling, in the stern part of the support base there is an opening. The protective pillar is fixed with the upper end to the upper body of the rig by means of the bracket mounted on the latter.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase reliability of a structure under conditions of freezing water areas, in soils with low bearing capacity.
