(63) Dismounting a mounting rack, connecting an oblique rod 6-7 to an oblique rod lug base 6-1-1-1 as shown in FIG. 7 of a left top base and a right top base, and six oblique rods setting on a left and a right side and a front side of the substructure; dismounting a movable pulley block 12 from a lifting lug of a first section 2-2 and connecting the movable pulley block 12 to a substructure lifting lug 6-3-1-1 as shown in FIG. 6 of a middle base; starting a lifting hydraulic winch 13, so that a substructure top comprising a left top base 6-1-1 and a right top base 6-2-1 as well as a middle module 6-3 skidding upwards along a guide rail 2-1-2-1 of a base section under the guidance of four guide rail grooves 6-1-1-3 of the left top base 6-1-1 and the right top base 6-2-1; after the substructure top in place, inserting eight pin shaft cylinders 6-8 into pin shaft cylinder mounting holes 2-1-17 in the base section so as to connect the substructure top to the base section; installing pin 6-9 in the hole after aligned a lug base hole in the oblique rod 6-7 with the oblique rod lug base 6-1-2-2 as shown in FIG. 7 of a left bottom base and a right bottom base; dismounting the movable pulley block 12 on the substructure lifting lug 6-3-1-1 and a fixed pulley block 10 on the top of the base section; starting lifting the hydraulic winches 13 and winding back the lifting steel wire rope 11, the substructure is lifted.

(64) As shown in FIG. 34, instead of lifting by the hydraulic winches 13 mentioned above, the sections can be lifted by a hydraulic cylinder. Two lifting hydraulic cylinders 25 are substantially horizontal and symmetrical installed on each side of a substructure bottom 29—a part except for a substructure top. A steel wire rope head I 26 of lifting steel wire rope 23 connects to the hydraulic cylinder 25 and winds around a guide pulley 27 on a piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 25 and a guide pulley 24 on a cross beam as well as a guide pulley 21 on the base section. A steel wire rope head II 30 drops on an inner side of the base section and is fixed to a lifting lug of the section and the substructure. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 25 moves on a hydraulic cylinder guide rail, so the steel wire rope head is forward or backward, and therefore, the sections and substructure are lifted.

(65) Dismounting the drilling rig sections and the substructure is substantially reversing to lifting process. This is convenient and rapid for installation, and moreover, it is easier for well site installation and reduces space. In addition, the rig needs fewer trucks and reduces transportation workload and reduces cost effectively.

(66) The rotary table is integrated with a hydraulic motor for size reduction. The traveling block and the top drive are lifted by the direct driven winch to improve efficiency and reduce downtime. A walking device which is integrated in a left and a right transportable module of the substructure relieves dismounting during walking in multi-direction and in-situ rotation.

(67) As used herein, the terms “substantially” or “generally” refer to the complete or nearly complete extent or degree of an action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or results. For example, an object that is “substantially” or “generally” enclosed or nearly enclosed. The exact allowable degree of deviation from absolute completeness may in some cases depend on the specific context. However, generally speaking, the nearness of completion will be so as to have generally the same overall result as if absolute and total completion were obtained. The use of “substantially” or “generally” is equal applicable when used in a negative connotation to refer to the complete or near complete lack of an action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or result. For example, an element, combination, embodiment, or composition that is “substantially free of” or “generally free of” an ingredient or element may still actually contain such item as long as there is generally no measurable effect thereof.
