Aligning borehole drilling equipment

A method of aligning oil drilling equipment, the method comprising:

• determining a longitudinal axis of a shaft of a drilling rig;
• determining an offset of between the axis of the shaft and a longitudinal axis of a blowout preventer;
• coupling a first adjustment component with the blowout preventer;
• coupling a rotating control device with a second adjustment component such that an axis of the rotating control device corresponds with the axis of the shaft to account for the offset positioning a sealing component between the shaft and the rotating control device;
• and
• installing a sensor on installing a sensor on one or more of the shaft, sealing component, blowout preventer, and rotating control device
• wherein the first and second adjustment components each comprise an angled middle portion coupled with one or more flanged ends.

A system of equipment of a managed pressure drilling operation being carried out on a drilling rig, the system comprising:

• a shaft of a drilling rig, the shaft having a shaft axis;
• a blowout preventer coupled with a top end of a well bore, the blowout preventer being configured to receive the shaft and having a longitudinal axis that is radially offset from the shaft axis;
• a rotating control device;
• and
• an alignment component coupled with at least one of the rotating control device and the blowout preventer such that an axis of the rotating control device is adjusted relative to the blowout preventer via the alignment component;
• a sealing element coupled with the rotating control device to provide a seal against an outside of the shaft;
• and
• a sensor positioned on one or more of the shaft, sealing component, blowout preventer, and rotating control device;
• wherein the alignment component comprises one or more pieces positioned between the rotating control device and the blowout preventer, each piece comprising an angled middle portion coupled with one or more flanged ends.
