Reduce Frustration when Invest in a Rig Refurbishment


Rig refurbishment before and after

Rig refurbishment before and after

Your rig reached the five- to seven-year mark, and youā€™ve noticed nagging functionality issues. As the seemingly unexplained issues continue, your driller grumbles more and your clients call with concerns. You find yourself saying ā€˜noā€™ to jobs, unsure your rigā€™s worthy of completing the work without a breakdown. Confidence in the rigā€™s performance ā€“ from management, driller, and clients ā€“ has diminished.Ā 

However, up to this point youā€™ve kept the rig busy in the field. Itā€™s proven to be profitable. If so, investing in refurbishing its components and appearance could pay you back ā€“ and then some ā€“ and represent your company well again. Your driller may even prefer to continue operating their beloved rig rather than learning to operate a new machine.

Assessing whether to invest in a rig refurbishment involves not just a physical assessment of the rig, but also balancing future profit potential of a refurbished rig ā€“ and the driller ā€“ against that of a new rig purchase.

Ā 

As you walk around the rig, do you notice:

  • Worn or weathered hoses
  • Leaks
  • Rust or weathered appearance
  • Worn tracks

Have you experienced:

  • Intermittent electrical issues
  • Diminishing performance of hammer
  • Straining hydraulic pump
  • Overheating rig
