Truck-mounted drilling rig

Truck-mounted drilling rig

SJ Petroleum Machinery Co.Ltdhas delivered rugged drilling solutions for 80+ years. We design and manufacture high-mobility truck-mounted drilling rigs for onshore shallow-to-medium depth operations, bridging the gap between basic water well rigs and full-scale heavy land rigs.

Rapid Self-Leveling & Rigging:Our trucks come equipped with hydraulic outriggers (stabilizing legs) that self-level on uneven terrain. Once the truck is parked, the mast raises using built-in hydraulic cylinders. This system gets the unit from "driving mode" to "drilling-ready" in less than 15 minutes, drastically reducing non-productive time between wells.

High-Flotation & All-Terrain Chassis Options:We offer optional 6x6 or 8x8 all-wheel-drive configurations with high-clearance axles. This allows our mobile drilling rigs to access soft mudflats, sandy desert dunes, or swampy areas that standard highway trucks cannot reach. This capability is a game-changer for remote exploration projects.

Application Areas

Our truck-mounted rigs are the go-to choice where speed and simplicity are the priority:

  • Water Well & Geothermal Drilling: The ability to move between water reserves quickly makes these rigs ideal for municipal water authorities and geothermal energy developers.

  • Core & Mineral Exploration: When you need to confirm mineral deposits in remote non-oil regions, the truck-mounted drill provides a low-cost, high-speed exploration method.

  • Shallow Oil & Gas Workover: These rigs are perfect for light workover operations (like rod pulling or casing repairs) on low-producing shallow fields where a heavy rig would be overkill.

  • Emergency Relief & Seismic Drilling: Quick-response scenarios where you need to get a hole in the ground within 24 hours.

Product Types & Configurations

Designing a fast-setup truck-mounted rig involves matching the chassis to the target geology:

1. Standard Highway Rig (Truck-1500)
Uses a standard 6x4 commercial tractor chassis. Best for paved road travel and urban/suburban site access. Lightweight and highly fuel-efficient.

2. All-Terrain Heavy-Duty Rig (Truck-3000)
Features a reinforced 8x8 military-grade chassis with high ground clearance. Comes with air-locking differentials and industrial mud tires. Use this for deserts, tropical jungles, or coal-bed methane fields.

3. Articulated Carrier Rig (Custom)
For highly unstable ground, we can integrate the drilling unit onto a tracked or articulated carrier vehicle, offering maximum traction for arctic tundra or swampland operations.

Why Choose Sinopec's Truck-Mounted Drilling Rigs?

If you are in the market for mobile drilling equipment, you need a rig that balances Portability with Power. Here is why the Sinopec line stands out:

  • Proven Industry Pedigree: 80+ years of building full-scale rigs means our "little ones" are just as well-engineered as our large rigs. You aren't buying a converted farm tractor; you are buying purpose-built industrial machinery.

  • Integrated Serviceability: Because the engine serves a dual purpose (driving and drilling), we design the power take-off (PTO) system to be heavily over-specced. You will not burn out your transmission during heavy drilling.

  • Reduced Logistics Costs: One truck + one driver. No cranes, no flatbeds, no separate mud trucks needed for the majority of shallow operations. This cuts your mobilization bill by up to 70%.

  • Customizable Output: We can tune your rig to run on compressed air (for hard rock hammer drilling), foam, or high-viscosity mud systems, allowing you to match the technology to the local ground conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the maximum depth this truck-mounted rig can drill?
A: Our standard model line (Truck-1500 / 2000 / 3000) is designed for shallow-to-medium depth drilling up to 3,000 meters (~9,800 feet). However, certain heavy-duty 8x8 models can be modified for deeper workover operations, though they are not designed for ultra-deep 5km+ wells.

Q: How does the truck engine manage heat during drilling periods?
A: We install an oversized cooling fan and an auxiliary transmission cooler. The truck engine is geared to operate at optimal RPM while drilling using the split-shaft PTO, and the vehicle's cooling system is upgraded to handle the continuous load.

Q: Can this rig be used for horizontal or directional drilling?
A: Yes, but primarily for shallow directional or HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) applications. For deep horizontal wells (shale, oil), a larger skid-based rig is recommended. For horizontal water wells or environmental remediation, the truck-mounted rig works perfectly.

Q: What kind of roads can this rig travel on?
A: Our standard 6x4 version complies with most national highway regulations for width, height, and axle weight. Our 8x8 all-terrain version can drive on dirt trails, hard-packed sand, and rocky terrain, but it might require a special oversize permit for some public highways.

Q: Do you offer remote control for the rig operation?
A: Yes, we can integrate a wireless remote control panel for the drawworks and rotary table. This allows the driller to back away to a safe distance during pipe handling moments, increasing operator safety.
