AHEAD Rigs - the evolution of Hydraulic Rigs
Since 1996, about two hundred Drillmec HH rigs have been working all around the world in many environmental and weather conditions, always delivering high safety and drilling efficiency.
On the basis of the HH Series experience and field results, Drillmec has developed a new generation of fully automated drilling rig forward, named AHEAD (Advanced Hydraulic Electrical Automated Driller), designed to meet the highest HSE standards and drilling efficiency.
Combining the advantages of DRILLMEC Hydralic Rig Series with the capability of working with double (R3) or triple stand (R2) make this new evolution of design a complete revolution in the oil industry.
This rig, compared to a conventional land rig, has a footprint reduction up to 40%, a reduced visual impact and enginereed for a low noise level.
