Precision is equipping its U.S. rig fleet with upgrades to handle the increasing demand for ERL wells, particularly in plays like the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville. These investments include: Higher torque top drives for better drilling power.
[pdf] The Boyles C5/C5C surface core drilling rig is compact, yet powerful. Its compact design makes it easy to position and transport, even by helicopter. During helicopter transport, the rig is broken dow.
[pdf] Drill stems must be designed to transfer drilling torque for combined lengths that often exceed several miles down into the , and also must be able to resist pressure differentials between inside and outside (or vice versa), and have sufficient strength to suspend the total weight of deeper components. For deep wells this requires tempered steel tubes that are expensive, and owners spend considerable efforts to reuse them after finishing a well.
