Wellsite Information Transfer Specification
The Wellsite Information Transfer Specification (WITS) is a specification for the transfer of drilling rig-related data. This petroleum industry standard is recognized by a number of companies internationally and is supported by many hardware devices and software applications.{{Citation needed, date=November 2021 WITS is a multi-layered specification: * Layer 0 describes an ASCII-based transfer specification * Layer 1 describes a binary-based format based on 25 predefined fixed-size records and the Log Information Standard (LIS) data-transmission specification * Layer 2 describes bidirectional communication using LIS Comment records * Layer 2b describes buffering of data * Layer 4 extends the previous layers to use a different data exchange formatRP66 Though still in active use as of 2013, the specification has been superseded by the XML-baseWITSML See also *Wellsite information transfer standard markup language {{Short description, Web development language WITSML is a standard ...

Drilling Rig
A drilling rig is an integrated system that drills wells, such as oil or water wells, or holes for piling and other construction purposes, into the earth's subsurface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill water wells, oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to be moved manually by one person and such are called augers. Drilling rigs can sample subsurface mineral deposits, test rock, soil and groundwater physical properties, and also can be used to install sub-surface fabrications, such as underground utilities, instrumentation, tunnels or wells. Drilling rigs can be mobile equipment mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers, or more permanent land or marine-based structures (such as oil platforms, commonly called 'offshore oil rigs' even if they don't contain a drilling rig). The term "rig" therefore generally refers to the complex equipment that is used to penetrate the surface of the Earth's crust. Small to medi ...
