The cooling tower
Once steam exits from turbine, it undergoes condensation in the condenser some water is reinjected back to the ground and some to cooling tower above to maintain balance.

Normally when the rig is drilling all the equipment are powered, hydraulic systems connected,high pressure lines connected and secured.etc
Target depth is the aim,once we hit,we run liners & completion tests starts, break tubulars..rig move to the next well.
