Rapid-Relocation, Rapid-Assembly Drilling Rig

Rapid-Relocation, Rapid-Assembly Drilling Rig

SJ Petroleum Machinery Co.Ltd a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopec Oilfield Machinery Co., Ltd., brings 80+ years of heritage to the global industry. We specialize in manufacturing heavy-duty rapid-relocation drilling rigs built for fast moves, quick set-ups, and minimal downtime in remote fields.

1. Pre-Assembled "Rig-in-a-Box" Modules
Instead of shipping dozens of loose steel beams, our rigs are delivered in pre-assembled, liftable modules. The mast, substructure, and draw works are prewired and pre-piped at the factory. This eliminates the need for complex welding or cable splicing in the field, allowing your team to go from "truck arrived" to "ready to spud" in a fraction of the standard time.

2. Compact Skid & Trailer Integration
We offer two main mobility configurations. The Skid-Mount version is designed for short-distance moves across a single drilling pad, and the Trailer-Mount version is fully compliant with standard highway regulations for long-haul relocation. Both versions feature self-centralizing connection points that snap together without massive alignment tooling.

3. Low-Ground-Pressure & Cleated Tracks (Optional)
For extremely soft terrains, like mudflats or tundra, we offer an optional low-ground-pressure (LGP) track system. When the rig needs to move from one well to the next without a concrete road, our track system distributes the weight, preventing your rig from sinking or damaging fragile ecosystems.

Application Areas

This rig class is specifically designed for high-stakes mobility:

  • Multi-Well Pad Drilling (Shale/Oil Sands): When you need to drill 10+ wells from a single pad, continuous "step-out" moves between wells are required. Our rig reduces this downtime to hours, significantly boosting annual footage drilled.

  • Remote & Perimeter / Frontier Exploration: Areas with zero existing infrastructure, like deep jungle or arctic tundra. The ability to fly the smaller components in or truck them over rough trails makes these projects economically viable.

  • Emergency Relief or Offset Wells: When a blowout occurs or a strategic offset well is required urgently, our rapid-assembly rig can be deployed faster than conventional rigs, saving critical days in the well control response timeline.

Product Types

We offer three distinct rapid-relocation architectures to match your mobility requirements:

  1. Trailer-Mounted Rapid-Response Rig: Fully road-legal for long-distance moves between counties. The main components are integrated into high-clearance heavy-duty trailers.

  2. Containerized Rapid-Transit Rig: The ultimate remote-logistics solution. The entire rig dismantles into standard 40ft HC shipping containers, allowing for easy rail, barge, or flatbed truck transport.

  3. Jack-Up Skid-Mount (Pad-to-Pad) Rig: Designed to slide across a large well pad using its own hydraulic skid system. It shortens the move time between wellheads to 3 hours.

Why Choose Our Rapid-Relocation Rig System?

If you are a drilling contractor or oil & gas operator looking to save money, it starts with a faster rig move. But speed means nothing without reliability.

  • Significant Rig-Up Cost Reduction: We designed our rig to cost drastically less per move by eliminating expensive standby crane rentals. The self-erection system does 80% of the lifting work.

  • Uncompromised Drilling Performance: Just because it moves fast doesn't mean it's light-duty. Our rapid-relocation rigs are built with the same high-yield steel and robust draw works as our standard ZJ series, offering full drilling capability.

  • True OEM Customization: We don't just sell a black box. We work with you to integrate your specific logging tools, BOP stack requirements, and power generation preferences into the rapid-relocation framework.

  • Extensive Spare Parts Availability: Because moving equipment shakes and vibrates more than stationary rigs, we stock a higher inventory of wear parts (bolts, hydraulic seals, hoses) specifically tuned for this type of rig.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the main difference between this "Rapid" rig and a standard modular rig?
A: A standard modular rig focuses on breaking down into smaller parts for transport. Our rapid-relocation, rapid-assembly rig focuses on the outcome: minimizing total "Move + Rig-Up" time. We achieve this through factory pre-assembly and self-erection capabilities that standard modular rigs lack.

Q: How long does it take to move your 5000m rig between two wells 200 meters apart?
A: If the ground is firm and level, you can have the rig skidded, lowered, and re-erected in approximately 6 to 8 hours. If you need to use a heavy-haul truck for a 1km move, count on 12 to 16 hours.

Q: What is the biggest mobile crane I need for assembly?
A: You don't need a major mobile crane for the main assembly. The hydraulic self-erection system handles the mast and draw works. You only need a smaller 25-ton rough-terrain crane to place the modules on the pad and to help with the skid base.

Q: Can this rig handle high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) wells?
A: Yes, provided the driller selects the corresponding heavier-duty draw works and reinforced mast/mud pumps. Our Rapid-7000 model, in particular, is rated for 7,000m depth and can be fitted with high-pressure (15,000 psi) BOP stacks and mud systems.

Q: Do you offer leasing options for these rigs?
A: Typically, we work on a sales basis. However, for specific turnkey drilling or multi-year service contracts, we can discuss lease-to-own or operational leasing arrangements. Please contact our sales engineering team for a specific lease quote.
