The Benefits of Using Drilling Rigs - Jcdrill

Drilling platforms move oil and gas from one location to another. They are called well pads and they are located on land or offshore, depending on where the well is being drilled. A good platform is a combination of structures and equipment used to drill a well, prepare it for production, and produce oil or gas.

Drilling rigs are giant machines that drill holes to extract oil and gas. The rig usually consists of a large diameter rock drill bit located on top of a long drill column that is lowered into the borehole and rotated to drill the hole. The drill column is made of a long continuous string of long steel or continuous tubing. Thus, here are some of the benefits for the drill rig manufacturer.

  • It can reduce the cost of oil-related products - the rig can help by reducing the cost of drilling, the cost of cleaning and maintaining the well, the cost of delivering groundwater, and the cost of delivering oil and gas to the surface. It can reduce net costs by reducing the cost of delivering oil and gas to the surface. For example, when drilling a well, the cost of running and maintaining the rig is high. As oil prices rise, drilling rigs can significantly reduce these costs.

  • It creates local jobs - oil rig manufacturers, service companies, and workers for these companies all benefit from oil rig manufacturers. The oil rig manufacturer benefits from the service company, which in turn benefits by providing services to the oil rig manufacturer. Workers benefit by finding jobs and being part of the community. It creates jobs at the local level. The rigs make many components, but the most important is the large metal pipe that is attached to form the drill column, which is then lowered into the well.

  • It helps development - young people understand the value of oil rigs and they are likely to be in the same class as oil rig workers. In addition, oil rig workers and other oil rig workers become more aware of the nature of oil rig work and are more likely to become more able to earn a living. It helps to develop local communities, as rig owners and service companies have local communities as their customers. It helps to develop the local economy.

  • It provides more domestic self-sufficiency - the oil and gas industry is one of the largest and best-organised industries in the world. The industry is at the forefront of technology and is able to offer new and innovative drill bits and columns as well as new technologies for oil and gas extraction. This provides the owner with an independent supply of oil and gas and also helps him to reduce his energy costs.

  • Drilling equipment suppliers have a significant impact on communities and economies. In countries where jobs are scarce, the jobs created by the oil industry are an important opportunity for people to be employed. It is also an important opportunity for young people to get an education.

As a result, the relatively high incomes of oil rig manufacturers and the relatively high incomes of oil rig service companies are a benefit to both the communities their companies serve and the workers they employ.

Small Water Well Rigs Mean Big Business Advantages - Geoprobe

When it comes to power to get the job done, well digging machine looks can be deceiving.

“Our industry has a hang up on bigger is better,” said Ricky Cosnahan, owner, DJ Pump Service, Georgia. “If a 24-inch wrench will break pipe loose, then you get the 36-inch to make sure you have the power. Just because it’s little doesn’t mean it doesn’t have power.”

Driller Chris Adkison attributes their success to the top head speed of the DRILLMAX® DM250 by Geoprobe® for cleaner, straighter well development in significantly less time - drilling water wells in hours instead of days.

“Where we drill wells there’s a lot of limestone and blue marl. It would take four days to drill 260 feet and then make a well on the fifth day,” Adkison said. “Now we’re doing it in a day and a half. The blue marl is a dense clay that swells and the DM250 cuts it really well.”

In choosing the small but mighty DRILLMAX® DM250 by Geoprobe® with its efficient production, companies across the nation have added other big business advantages when using the compact drilling rig.

Site Accessibility of Compact Drilling Rig

Always Pure Clearwater and Well focuses on drilling water wells for residential properties close to the Jersey Shore.

“We needed to get close in tight to homes, expensive landscaping, and fences without damage,” Nate Hommel, owner, said. “We had a big, heavy drill rig, so we looked at smaller machines with the same power but lighter weight — so we didn’t have to worry about pavers or sod  — but would know we had power to handle hard drilling to 200 feet.”

Hommel found the combination of compact drilling size and big power he was seeking in the DRILLMAX® DM250 by Geoprobe®.

“It’s a little package that gets the job done. I’ve run at least four other manufacturer’s bigger machines and they have nothing on the DRILLMAX® DM250 [by Geoprobe®],” he said.

Competitive Advantage When Drilling Water Wells

Steve Simmons, owner of Roy Simmons & Son Well Drilling in Michigan, is so convinced he has the capabilities of a big rig in a compact drilling package he now calls the DRILLMAX® DM250 by Geoprobe® his “big rig".

“The dam broke, so the lake and water wells have been dry. New wells now have to be put on the lake side,” Simmons explained. “The DM250 gave me a leg up on the competition because I can get places they can’t go and go as deep as I need to go. 280-feet? No problem.”

A recent job drilling water wells had him maneuvering between big trees and within an inch of the house for a 280-foot well.

“I figured I’d be there a week, and it took a day,” Simmons said. “The rig really opened up more area, more spots where a big rig wouldn’t fit. But now I can get there.”

No Class A/B CDL Required on Small Well Digging Machine

Launching Island Geo Drillers in New York five years ago, Joe Dalba and partner Ryan Maletta were ready to take their closed-loop geothermal installation business to the next level. Their projects were progressing from residences with up to 50-ton fields to schools requiring 300-ton fields with 90 bores to 350 feet. Yet, they desired to go after more municipal projects. What they needed to take the next step was a new well digging machine.

“To get a more capable rig and take our business to the next step, the DRILLMAX® DM250 [by Geoprobe®] was the only one non-CDL,” Dalba said. “Others with these capabilities required a CDL or were not yet in production, just prototypes.”

 “It has everything really – it’s faster and lots easier,” Dalba said. “Speed of tophead rotation combined with 22-foot stroke on tight package, ramps up production, and it being non-CDL also saves on insurance.”

The DM250 not requiring a CDL also contributed to the choice of drill rig for Moore’s Well Drilling in Florida.

“I don’t have two guys out on the rig and water truck who both have a CDL,” Chris Westberry, operations manager, said.

The small size with 20-foot rod capabilities while still being under class A/B CDL placed the DRILLMAX® DM250 by Geoprobe® at the top of the list of well drilling equipment for sale for Willey & Company in Delaware.

“The fact that it could do same size wells but on a smaller truck means we’re able to get in and out of tight spots. Most people on our team can drive it and we didn’t have to sacrifice on rod length. DRILLMAX® by Geoprobe® is one of the only options we found that offered all that,” Mike Willey, owner, said.

Chris Adkison with DJ Pump Service, Georgia, also praises the mobility of the DM250, appreciating that anyone can drive it into tight job sites or narrow drives for drilling water wells without tearing up customers’ yards.

“Our other rig would drill a well, but it wasn’t easy to operate or mobilize,” Adkison said. “I can pull up in a McDonald’s parking lot and get a cheeseburger if I want.”

Hommel with Always Pure Clearwater and Well in New Jersey used to limit travel to no further than an hour away. With the DM250 they can fly down the highway since it drives like a regular truck.

“It’s the best investment I’ve ever made in my business,” Hommel said. “All the guys can drive it 70 mph down the highway. The helpers can set it up — where before I didn’t have that option — allowing guys to do more things outside their level.”

The Bottom Line of Compact Drilling Rigs

Thanks to the extra production and a solid market, DJ Pump Service’s bottom line has increased 500 percent. However, income isn’t the only benefit.

“It was a big thing for us and our families to spend that kind of money on a new rig,” Adkison said. “It’s made life easier, we have more quality time at home, and make a little more money. It’s a win-win.”

John Bowman, owner/operator, Kelly Well Drilling, Kentucky, concurs the faster turn around volume when drilling water wells with the small DRILLMAX® DM250 by Geoprobe® ultimately means more money, but also more time away from the job.

“We start at 10 a.m., done by 2 p.m., and back home – that’s very nice,” Bowman said. “It’s dynamite in a small package.”
