Pb2000 quick lesson. Drilling is the side who actually does the drilling or working over wells to repair problems downhole. Most rigs are not permanate on a location they are movable, either semi submersible or jackups. Many other styles, platform rigs which are like land rigs which are disassembled to be moved, snubbing unit which is basically z big hydraulic jack that pulls pipe, and coil tubing which is a spool of continuous pipe used in workover operations. Production job is exactly what it says, monitor all equipment on the platform that process the produced hydrocarbons from a well or wells. Platforms are a structure that stays on location after a rig is finished drilling with equipment that processes oil, gas and water. Tired of typing..... Drilling= hard work
Production= gravy job
