The
petroleum drilling
machine three-joint unit building
system comprises a base, a
drill floor face is arranged on the base, a derrick is installed on the
drill floor face, a
pipe grabbing mechanical arm is installed on one side of the derrick, a
racking platform is installed on the other side of the derrick, a well opening is formed in the
drill floor face and located at the bottom of the derrick, and a three-joint unit box is arranged at the position, right opposite to the
racking platform, of the
drill floor face. A first mouse hole and a second mouse hole are formed in the side, away from the three-unit box, of the
wellhead, an iron
roughneck is arranged on one side of the first mouse hole, a
control system is arranged on one side of the iron
roughneck, and a power catwalk is in
lap joint with the position, opposite to the
pipe grabbing mechanical arm, of the
drill floor face. The
control system is electrically connected with the
pipe grabbing
manipulator, the
drill floor manipulator, the iron
roughneck and the power catwalk. The invention further discloses a three-joint unit construction method, the problem that the pipe column is limited to go up and down the drill floor surface is solved, the pipe column conveyed by the power catwalk does not need to be lifted to a higher position, and the drill floor
manipulator does not need to be provided with an avoiding track.
