Abstract: A method to construct and transport a modular drilling rig comprising drilling equipment in the form of a transfigurable container begins by transporting transfigurable shipping containers comprising drilling equipment to a drilling location. The method continues by unfolding the transfigurable shipping containers and the drilling equipment at the drilling location, and connecting two or more of the unfolded transfigurable shipping containers to form operable drilling equipment. The operable drilling equipment is erected into a drilling rig, wherein the operable drilling equipment comprises a drill floor, a mast substructure; a mast; a control cabin, a drawworks; a blow out preventer; a choke and kill manifold; a blow out preventer (BOP) control unit (38), not shown. The method ends by connecting piping and cabling for communication and power cabling to the erected operable drilling equipment and, then, operating the drilling rig.

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.

Abstract: A method of drilling and completing an underwater well entails installing conductor casing from a floating vessel into a seabed; drilling a bore through the conductor casing to a defined depth in the seabed; and installing surface casing through the conductor casing. A high pressure wellhead and mudline suspension system engages the surface casing and are disposed on the first end. The lower stress joint is connected to a lower saver sub that connects to the casing riser's lower end. The casing riser on an upper end is connected to an upper saver sub that engages a upper stress joint. The method ends by connecting the upper stress joint to a surface wellhead in fluid communication with a surface BOP; and connecting the surface BOP and the surface wellhead to a tensioning system on the floating vessel; and using a telescoping joint.
