Understanding the layout of conventional onshore drilling rig facilities is a crucial competency in the oil and gas industry. Relying solely on conceptual learning or direct field observations presents significant challenges, including limited accessibility, high costs, and occupational safety risks. This research aims to examine the representation of an actual rig layout and the techno-economic feasibility of a physical scale model (mock-up) of an onshore rig, developed through Project-Based Learning. The study introduces a novel approach by integrating a bill of materials with hardware modeling, utilizing low-cost alternative materials to replicate the drilling system. For technical education, this study serves to bridge academic theory with practical application, enabling learners to grasp core concepts, develop design plans, create physical models, and assemble the final system.Through this visualization, learners are expected to gain a profound understanding of how drilling equipment is arranged in an oil and gas field. The results demonstrate that the physical model successfully replicates the primary components of a drilling rig with both accuracy and precision.From a techno-economic perspective, the project proves that a valid, educationally valuable physical model can be created with optimal cost efficiency.
