There is a company that claims to have the most agile and capable drilling rig in the petroleum market.

Within the oil industry the part that involves well drilling activities is usually seen as the most important part within this industry, because if a well is not drilled there is no communication between the subsoil (existing place where the oil is stored) and the surface.

One of the equipment that you have to have is a drilling rig, drilling rigs have evolved technologically over the years, to tell you something, the oil rigs at the beginning worked under a percussion mechanism, where a sharp rod was dropped on the surface to go slowly drilling the surface and was deepening in the drilling of the well, however over the years this mechanism evolved to rotary drilling, in which a quadrant or kelly mechanism can be used to rotate the drill pipe, however within this mechanism also evolved to rotary drilling using top drive..

Within this same evolutionary mechanism and technological adaptation, drilling rigs have come to be equipped with technology and the incorporation of new equipment that make them competitive in the new oil market, where it is increasingly required to spend less in operating costs, minimize the days consumed to build a well and at the same time ensure the quality of the well built.

This time I read an article on the website of WORLD ENERGY TRADE which explains the reasons why the oil company Epiroc claims to have the most agile and capable drilling rig in the oil market, that is why I want to analyze some points of the article, the ones I consider most important and give my point of view, and thus know how much drilling rigs have evolved to the present time.

According to this company the 'DH350' rig has a design in its structure that surpasses other rigs, and that in addition to this this rig surpasses in mobility to other existing conventional oil rigs.

What I think is that to be able to surpass in mobility to other platforms is that at least at the time of disassembling the platforms used on land, it must have a facility to undress this platform and thus perform an undressing and moving of the platform in less time than conventional ones, it would be very good to be present in an undressing of this type of platforms and check their mobility.

It seems to be very advanced for the operations that are performed on the platform's substructure, since the substructure is made of a single piece and incorporates a hydraulic system that allows the piping connections to be made more easily.

I am not going to continue telling you the amount of technological benefits that this type of platform has because you can read it yourself in this site web, however the idea is to be able to discern if there is a technological advance in relation to conventional platforms.

Although there is a notorious difference with more equipment incorporations and a technological innovation that allows this platform to be more mobile when disassembling and moving from one place to another, I think the principle is the same as other platforms, where you basically have to use the same equipment to drill.
