Abstract
A system and a method are for positioning a drilling rig arranged to drill in a ground. The system has a positioning jig including at least one coupling portion; a drilling rig including at least two coupling portions; and at least two anchoring elements including an upper coupling portion and a lower coupling portion. The lower coupling portion of the anchoring element is arranged to be releasably fixed to the ground. The upper coupling portion of the anchoring element is arranged to be connected to the coupling portion of the positioning jig and to the coupling portion of the drilling rig, so that the upper coupling portion of the anchoring element can optionally be connected to the positioning jig or the drilling rig.
