Description
Veristic’s Rocket Rig provides a compact and simple system that can be transported in as few as 12 truck loads. The Rocket Rig uses a straight bull line that eliminates reaving. Traveling block and top drive are both contained within top mast section for ease of transport. Once assembled, the drill floor and mast are raised simultaneously, in one single shot.
Design Features
- Ground level horizontal assembly for the entire mast, substructure and drill floor.
- Raise the mast and entire drill 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 drill floor inside the substructure near ground level for better stability and less vibration at the drill floor.
- Drill Floor structure will allow customer to integrate drilling equipment i.e. rotary table, driller console and other drill floor equipment to ease rig-up/rig-down & rig move.
- Mast, drill 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.
- Drill 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.
