As specified and required by operator to fulfill their requirements the following additions and modifications can be put in place with place prior to delivery:
- Larger than noted tbg & csg sizes, the 7” 5000 psi BOP’s can be replaced with 10” 5000 psi units and larger accumulators.
- Additional handling equipment would be put in place as required.
- Additional adapter flanges would be placed in inventory.
- If required larger lubricator bodies would also be added.
- Higher formation pressures, 5000 psi equipment would be replaced with 10,000 psi equipment if required prior to delivery as requested by operators based on well specifications.
Should discussions with operators indicate that the existing 180 bbl rig tanks are insufficient for hole volume or well control, additional tankage can be added to the basic package as required.
The same principle would apply to fuel storage. A larger onsite tank can be added easily for fluids and/or fuel storage.
Power tongs. The current units are equipped to handle tbg sizes to 5”. If there is a requirement to handle 7” tbg each supplied rig will have the necessary handling tools.
Swabbing. All equipment required to swab tbg from 2-3/8” up to 3-1/2” is in place with the rigs presented in this document. If there is larger tbg involved or if the possibility of csg swabs is required, we would add adapter subs or adapter flanges along with larger lubricators as required.
