Any of you oil business cats have something like this? Trying to scratch build one in N scale for my upcoming Santa Fe railroad layout. Could use some simple diagrams with dimensions if possible.
quote:The basic derrick hasn't changed much. The lateral steel is 4" steel, and cross bracing is 2" The corners are either 6" or 8" steel, and can go up from there depending on the material being drilled. Each installation is slightly different. The dimensions given above are within average spec. You might lower the overall height from 80' to around 60' Everything else is pretty standard stuff.
That's too old. I'm modeling around the '80s or so with yellow and black Santa Fe locos.

If you search the right drilling companies, it's public knowledge and you can see the deminsions of a jackup, drillship and a semisubmersible.
Just FYI.

Ad****s and Barker Reservoirs are filled with jackup rigs right now.

Was he right about the derrick corner beams? 8"? What about the cross bracing?
