High-Performance Drilling Equipment for Onshore & Offshore Well Construction, Deep & Directional Drilling

Innovation & Technical Strengths

We don’t just assemble rigs – we engineer them around real drilling challenges. Here’s what sets SJ apart:

  • Full-range AC-VFD digital drive – Smoother torque control, 15~20% energy saving compared to conventional SCR systems, and precise speed regulation for directional drilling.

  • Rig telemetry & remote operation ready – Integrated sensors for hook load, rotary torque, mud flow, and pump pressure. Data can be streamed to your office or our support center for real-time drilling optimization.

  • Modular “plug-and-play” design – Onshore rigs come in skid-mounted or trailer-mounted modules that reduce rig-up time by up to 40%. No heavy crane required for small moves.

  • Offshore-grade anti-corrosion & blast resistance – Jack-up and platform rigs feature marine coating systems, explosion-proof electricals, and fire-rated control cabins.

  • Top-drive & iron roughneck integration – All new rigs can be equipped with hydraulic or electric top drives (250~1,250 HP) and automated pipe handling to reduce crew exposure.

  • Cold-environment package – Arctic models include heated walkways, low-temperature hydraulic fluids, and special steel grades tested down to -45°C.

  • Helicopter-portable version – For mountains and islands, we break down the rig into <10t modules that fit standard heavy-lift helicopters.

Applications – Where Our Drilling Equipment Works

  • Deep onshore wells (4,000 – 9,000m) – Tarim Basin, Sichuan, Central Asian gas fields

  • Directional & horizontal drilling – Extended-reach wells, shale gas, cluster well pads

  • Offshore fixed platforms – South China Sea, Bohai Bay, Middle East shelf fields

  • Jack-up drilling units – Self-elevating platforms for shallow to medium water depth

  • Arctic / permafrost zones – Russia, Kazakhstan, northern Canada (-45°C capability)

  • Desert remote areas – Sahara, Gobi, Arabian desert – skidding without crane

  • Mountain & jungle exploration – Helicopter-lift rigs for Ecuador, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea

  • Urban geothermal & water wells – Low-emission electric rigs with soundproofing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can you supply a complete drilling package including top drive, BOP, and mud pumps?
A: Yes. SJ provides integrated packages – rig, top drive, BOP handling system, mud pumps (F-500 to F-2200), solids control, and electric control house. Or we can just supply the rig if you already have auxiliary equipment.

Q2: What is the typical delivery time for a ZJ70 class rig?
A: For a standard AC VFD ZJ70 rig, delivery is 8–10 months from contract date. Fast-track options (6–7 months) are possible with expedited production – please inquire.

Q3: Do you offer on-site assembly supervision?
A: Absolutely. We send experienced field engineers to guide rig-up, perform cold and hot tests, and train your local crew. We also provide remote video support during commissioning.

Q4: Are your rigs suitable for H2S (sour gas) service?
A: Yes. We can supply sour-service versions with special metallurgy and coatings for components exposed to H2S. Please specify your fluid composition.

Q5: How do you handle spare parts for overseas clients?
A: We maintain a global spares list and ship via air or sea. For large fleets, we recommend setting up a consignment stock. Common wear parts (brake blocks, seals, chains) are always in stock.

Q6: Can your onshore rig be moved as a complete unit without dismantling?
A: Our fast-moving series uses a trailer-mounted or skid-mounted design that allows the entire rig to be dragged or trailed to the next wellhead within the same pad – no mast lowering. For highway moves, partial tear-down is required.

Q7: Do you have experience with directional drilling contractors?
A: Yes. Many of our AC VFD rigs are equipped with top drives and integrated surface data acquisition systems that interface with third-party MWD/LWD tools. We work closely with directional service companies.

Q8: What warranties do you provide?
A: Standard 12 months from commissioning or 18 months from shipment (whichever comes first). Extended warranties and performance guarantees are negotiable for large contracts.
