Fast Moving Land Rig
Drill multi-well pads with the Rocket Rig
Portable, fast, and safe, the Rocket Rig provides a compact and simple system that can be transported in as few as 12 truck loads. Proven to perform well on multi-well pads and drill extended reach wells, Veristic's fast moving land rig uses a straight bull line that eliminates reaving. Traveling block and top drive on this land rig are both contained within top mast section for ease of transport and rig up. Once the land rig is assembled, the drill floor and mast are raised simultaneously, in one single shot.
Erect Faster…
Advantages of the Rocket Rig include reduced operating costs, fewer truck loads, shorter rig up and mobilization time, and less maintenance costs over the lifetime of the rig. Designed with the “form follows function” philosophy, our fast moving land rig has a spacious drill floor, uses less drive pins, and allows for ground level assembly. The mast raising system and mast starter section are integrated into the unitized skid base substructure. The rotary table, rotary table drive, hydraulic catheads are unitized to the drill floor.

Fast Moving Land Rig Design Features
- Ground level horizontal assembly for the entire mast, substructure and rig floor.
- Raise the mast and entire rig floor to the working height in a single shot with the “Dog-Tail” raising system.
- "Dog-Tail" raising system is built in to the substructure with hydraulic winches, sheaves and wire lines. The raising system stays inside the substructure during the rig move.
- The mast lifting line (bull line) is straight from pin to pin without stringing through break over sheaves.
- All mast pedestals are under the rig floor inside the substructure near ground level for better stability and less vibration at the rig floor.
- Rig Floor structure will allow customer to integrate drilling equipment i.e. rotary table, driller console and other rig floor equipment to ease rig-up/rig-down & rig move.
- Mast, rig floor and substructure components are designed for transportation ready without further disassembling to smaller pieces.
- Crown block is designed to position both fast line and dead line outside of the mast to provide maximum working space inside the mast.
- The mast top section is designed to unitize the crown block, traveling block and top-drive for transportation in one component during rig move.
- A hydraulic powered wire spooler with hi-torque motor can help string up the drill line quickly and safely.
- Mast includes a built-in guide rail to accommodate customer’s traveling block and Top-drive (Varco TDS-11SA)
- Drawworks support is at truck bed height off the ground at the rear end of the substructure for easy rig-up.
- Rig floor dimensions are 34.8' x 19.25' and supports a Varco ST-80 Iron Roughneck. The ST-80 can stay on drill floor during rig move.
- Provision for hydraulic leveling jacks at each mast leg above the drill floor.
