Compact drilling rigs weighing between 3 and 8 tonnes, equipped with separate hydraulic power pack (diesel or electric-powered), designed to operate in low headroom and restricted access sites.
[pdf] Most land rigs fall in the $10 million to $50 million range depending on their size, technology, and manufacturing origin. Generally, the deeper the drilling capability and the more advanced the configuration, the higher the price.
[pdf] A rotary drilling rig works by rotating a drill string, which applies downward pressure to a drill bit that grinds the earth. Drilling fluid or air is pumped down the drill string to cool the bit, carry cuttings to the surface, and stabilize the borehole.
