One of the most significant advancements to reduce costs for drilling multiple horizontal wells from a single surface location or pad is the “walking” rig. A walking rig is self-propelled because it can move short distances (10 metres) without being disassembled and with pipe in the derrick.
[pdf] Designed long-reach horizontal pad drilling applications for either shale gas or tight oil, walking rigs cut drilling costs by spending much more time making hole and much less moving (rig up and tear down), picking up and laying down drill strings and tools, and mixing different batches of drilling mud and cleaning mud tanks for drilling various wellbore sections.
[pdf] Portable well drilling rig is a compact, mobile unit designed to bore holes into the ground to access underground water sources. Unlike conventional rigs, these systems prioritize ease of transport, quick setup, and adaptability to diverse terrains.
