positioning a first drilling structure that is proximate to a surface location for drilling a first wellbore, the first drilling structure comprising a first platform attached to the first drilling structure above a rig floor and a first portion of a monorail attached thereto proximate a top portion of the first drilling structure;
positioning a second drilling structure proximate the first drilling structure, wherein the second drilling structure comprises a second portion of the monorail attached thereto proximate a top portion of the second drilling structure, wherein the monorail has a movable trolley attached to the monorail and the movable trolley is configured to hold a tubular element or assembly of tubular elements and move from a first position proximate the first drilling structure to a second position proximate the second drilling structure;
with the second drilling rig, breaking out a connection of a tubular element or assembly of tubular elements from a drillstring of a second wellbore;
lifting the tubular element or assembly of tubular element elements; and
with the movable trolley, moving the tubular element or assembly of tubular elements from a first position from the second drilling rig to a second position at the first drilling structure.
