Modular drill system requiring limited field assembly and limited equipment support
First Claim
1. A modular transfigurable drilling rig comprising:
- a. at least two transfigurable containers removable from a transport device selected from the group consisting of;
a first transfigurable container forming a substructure, a second transfigurable container forming a mast, a third transfigurable container forming a pipehandler, a fourth transfigurable container forming a mud pump container, and a fifth transfigurable container forming a drawworks, wherein the transfigurable containers are adapted to form an operational drilling rig, and wherein the transfigurable container comprises;
i. a load bearing structure comprising a first load bearing support, a second load bearing support, and a load bearing bottom, wherein the load bearing bottom is disposed between the first and the second load bearing supports, thereby forming a space; and
ii. drilling equipment connected to the load bearing structure,iii. a connector adapted to engage at least two transfigurable containers;
b. piping adapted to connect the drilling equipment together;
c. cabling adapted to provide communication between the drilling equipment; and

Abstract
A modular transfigurable drilling rig comprises one or more transfigurable containers with drilling equipment to form an operational drilling rig. The transfigurable containers include a first and second load bearing support and a load bearing bottom disposed between the first and second load bearing supports, thereby forming a space. The container includes drilling equipment rotatably attached to the load bearing supports or the load bearing bottom. The drilling equipment is disposed within the space. The drilling rig further includes one or more connectors adapted to engage at least two transfigurable containers together. The drilling rig further includes piping adapted to connect the drilling equipment together, cabling adapted to provide communication between the drilling equipment, and a power source connected to the drilling equipment, wherein the power source is adapted to provide power to the drilling equipment.
