ROCKET RIG

As the most advanced model in our fleet, the Rocket Rig™ has raised the bar in a competitive industry committed to continuous improvement.  Innovative engineering and practical design are fundamental characteristics that have established its steadfast reputation of high-level performance. Safe, efficient, effective and reliable, our Rocket Rig™ features the superior equipment, progressive technology and world-class integration required to engage and overcome our clients' most challenging drilling projects.

The landscape of our industry is ever-changing.  Operators and Drillers alike are constantly striving for higher levels of safety, better technology and greater efficiency in an untiring pursuit for gas, and the modern challenges of environmental compliance, logistical planning and urban drilling are but a few of the mutual issues facing all involved in our business today.
 
Most prevalent amongst the changes in present-day drilling is how the dynamics of exploring for unconventional gas have evolved. Drilling projects are more tasking, as advanced methods such as multi-well pads, extended reach laterals and managed pressure drilling have become common practice. Pushing conventional rigs to their limits, these progressive techniques call for a new standard in performance… and through this evolution a new class of drilling rigs has emerged.

Specifically designed to meet these present-day challenges, our Rocket Rig™ offers operators the required level of performance. Designed to maximize safety and efficiency during drilling and moving operations, the rig is outfitted with high-horsepower / high-pressure mud pumps, 500 ton AC top drive and fully-integrated electronic drilling system.  With available RigWalker™ system the rig is ideal for multi-well pad drilling, as it is capable of self-moving to engage up to twenty-four wells on a single pad without moving the backyard, all while leaving drill pipe racked to full setback capacity.
