Drillmec’s Striker-800 cluster drilling rig departs for Argentina
Drillmec announced their Striker-800 cluster drilling rig is headed to Argentina to work in
the Vaca Muerta shale play. The Striker-800 design is an ultra-high-spec rig package engineered for shale batch and cluster drilling operations. Drillmec says the design is the first off-the-shelf turnkey shale-drilling package to flexibly integrate all rig components.
The modular design allows the drilling contractor to choose the top drive, drawworks, mud pumps, and other drilling equipment from various manufacturers, including Drillmec. This flexibility enables rig specifications to be cost-effectively matched to the existing fleet, as well as specific application requirements. The modular design also provides fast integration of third-party services, such as cement, mud, and waste management.
Prior to the rig's departure, tours of the Striker-800 are available at Drillmec's Houston facility until the end of September. Contact info@drillmecinc.com for more information.
