Self-Assembling Rigs - Companies involved in providing support activities for oil and gas operations are offering self-assembling rigs to reduce operating costs and save time. Self-assembling rigs are automated rigs that can walk at up to 30 feet per hour, rotate 360 degrees, and can be operated with a remote control. Conventional oilfield drilling rigs require a crane to assemble them in pieces and thus consume more time. Self-assembling rigs ship in lower amount of loads, can assemble automatically, and move faster compared to conventional rigs. Self-assembling rigs are supported by control room with touchscreen and joysticks, and 200 sensors to monitor pneumatics, oil flow, and other processes. Major companies offering self-assembling rigs include Dragon Drilling Co., Stewart & Stevenson and Atlas Copco.
