Isn't a derrick a type of crane, or is that just how you lump together most oil well types?

Description in source:

quote:

Derrick operators in oil, gas, and mining
BLS Category: Derrick, rotary drill, and service unit operators, oil, gas, and mining
Fatal injury rate: 46 per 100,000 workers
Total deaths (2018): 20
Salary: $51,390
Most common fatal accidents: Transportation incidents, contact with objects and equipment
These oil workers setup, maintain, and operate the derrick and drill equipment used to extract oil and gas and mine for materials. The derrick is the structure above a well that holds the drilling equipment, while the drill rotates to displace the earth. The derrick may also include pumps to extract the oil or other materials from the well.
Transportation incidents and contact with objects and equipment were the two leading causes of death for these workers.

I knew that. Don't know why T Rex popped into my head. Thanks for the correction.
