Derrick or mast It´s the "steel tower directly above the well that supports the crown block at the top and provides support for the drillpipe to be stacked vertically as it is pulled from the well."

Hi. É, 'crane' foi a primeira coisa em que pensei. Talvez minha pergunta não tenha sido clara. Minha dúvida é se, neste caso específico, também usa-se 'crane'.

hoist

This process is all facilitated by a drilling rig which contains all necessary equipment to circulate the drilling fluid, HOIST and turn the pipe, control downhole pressures, remove cuttings from the drilling fluid, and generate onsite power for these operations.

[Drilling] Derrick

The tower that holds the drill pipes vertically (or slanted for horizontal drilling). Naturally this tower has hoists at the top to control the vertical position of the drill pipes.
In offshore jackup drilling units, the derrick tower can be translated on an overhanging platform which is position over the drilling conductors of a fixed platform. This is the modern way to perform drilling instead of "skidding" the drill rig over to the Main deck of the fixed platform.
