Why Choose Our Drilling Rigs?
Proven Manufacturing Experience
Ranked among China’s leading drilling rig exporters for eight consecutive years.
Successfully delivered drilling rigs and associated equipment to customers across the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.
Repeat customer rate exceeds 65%.
Reliable Field Performance
Average Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) exceeds 2,000 operating hours based on field performance data.
Designed for continuous operation in harsh drilling environments, including high-temperature deserts, Arctic regions, and sour-gas fields.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Compared with many North American and European alternatives, our drilling rigs typically reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 25–30% while maintaining comparable service life for critical components and structural systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can your drilling rigs operate in high-temperature, Arctic, or sour-gas environments?
Yes. Our drilling rigs have been successfully deployed in demanding operating conditions worldwide, including:
- Middle Eastern desert regions with ambient temperatures exceeding 55°C (131°F)
- Siberian and Arctic environments down to -45°C (-49°F)
- High-H₂S oil and gas fields in Central Asia and the Middle East
Available options include:
- Low-temperature steel and impact-tested components
- H₂S-resistant materials compliant with NACE requirements
- Fully enclosed climate-controlled electrical houses
- Arctic winterization packages
- Desert cooling packages
All designs undergo finite element analysis (FEA) and operating-condition verification before manufacturing.
Do your drilling rigs comply with API and international industry standards?
Yes.
Major equipment including the mast, substructure, drawworks, crown block, traveling block, hook, and swivel can be supplied with API Monogram certification where applicable.
In addition, customers may request third-party verification and factory acceptance testing (FAT) by organizations such as: DNV, Bureau Veritas (BV), ABS, Lloyd’s Register, SGS. Comprehensive FAT documentation and quality records are available upon request.
What is your typical delivery schedule?
Delivery schedules depend on rig specifications and customization requirements.
Typical lead times are:
| Rig Type | Typical Delivery Time |
|---|---|
| Standard Land Drilling Rig | 4–6 Months |
| Customized Drilling Rig | 7–9 Months |
Our modular engineering approach and factory pre-assembly help reduce overseas installation time by approximately 30% compared with conventional field assembly methods.
Detailed project schedules and milestone-based Gantt charts can be provided during project execution.
Does your engineering team have international commissioning experience?
Yes. Our engineering team averages more than 12 years of drilling rig design and commissioning experience.
Many team members have participated in international projects throughout: Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, South America.
Field engineers can be dispatched to support:
- Installation supervision
- Mechanical commissioning
- Electrical commissioning
- Operational training
- Performance testing
Typical onsite support duration ranges from 4 to 6 weeks per rig.
Can you provide complete turnkey drilling solutions rather than individual equipment only?
Yes. We offer complete turnkey drilling rig packages, including:
- Wellsite layout engineering
- Foundation and civil design requirements
- Rig installation and commissioning
- Mud system integration
- Power generation systems
- Electrical and control system integration
- Startup and operational support
Customers prepare the site and foundations, while we manage equipment integration and commissioning.
Can you supply top drives, mud pumps, solids control systems, and other supporting equipment?
Yes. In addition to drilling rigs, we provide fully integrated drilling packages that may include:
- Top drives
- Mud pumps
- Solids control systems
- BOP systems
- Cementing equipment
- Power generation packages
Equipment can be sourced from internationally recognized manufacturers or supplied through our approved partner network.
Integrated package engineering ensures interface compatibility and significantly reduces onsite installation and commissioning time.
How do you control project schedule and cost risks?
We utilize professional project management systems to monitor every stage of project execution.
Our project control process includes:
- Detailed engineering schedules
- Biweekly progress reports
- Milestone tracking
- Risk assessment registers
- Manufacturing progress monitoring
- FAT planning and coordination
For EPC or turnkey projects, contractual liquidated damages (LD) provisions can be negotiated to provide additional schedule assurance.
Your pricing is lower than many Western manufacturers. Does that mean lower quality?
No. Our competitive pricing is primarily driven by:
- Manufacturing scale
- Supply chain efficiency
- Lower labor costs
- Integrated production capabilities
Critical components may incorporate globally recognized brands such as: Siemens, ABB, Caterpillar, Cummins, Rexroth, NOV-compatible components.
Manufacturing, welding, NDT inspection, and quality control procedures follow applicable API and international industry standards.
We also welcome customer-appointed third-party inspectors to witness production, testing, and final acceptance procedures.
