Mixed Fleet Purpose-built rigs increase production and reduce costs

摘要

There's an old adage in the oil patch: "If a rig isn't turning to the right, it isn't making money."If you consider what a rig does from the time it's mobilized to go to a location until it completes drilling a well, a lot of time and money can be wasted on non-drilling functions. Today, contractors have access to a new class of lightweight, mobile, land rigs that minimize non-drilling operations. Contractors that have added these rigs to their existing fleets working in conjunction with large rigs have been able to substantially improve their financial returns.
