TL;DRAbstract

Abstract In this paper a basic methodology was used for the reliability modeling and developing a maintenance program for a fleet of four drilling rigs. Failure and performance data was collected from Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine in Iran for a two-year period. Then the available data was classified and analyzed and reliability of all subsystems and whole rigs were modeled and studied. The failure data showed that, in all rigs, electrical, hydraulic and drilling systems are the most frequent failing subsystems of the machine. The reliability analysis showed that transmission system is the most reliable subsystem in all studied rigs. In order to calculate the reliability of whole fleet, it was assumed that operation of at least two drilling rigs is essential for satisfying the production goals. Therefore, probabilistic possibility of all fleet’s states were calculated. In this paper, 80% is selected as the desired level of reliability for developing of preventive maintenance program for each
