Question:

How are excavators and loaders used on an oil drilling rig?

I see that they are somehow involved with the mud and wood chips and they are used to move pipe.

Answer:

A drilling rig requires a level pad. Elevations are established. The loader typically throws dirt around to level the pad. The excavator typically does embankments, digs trenches for pipes and unloads trucks.
