A rig move in West Texas depends on a capable hauling contractor, a sound route plan, and the right permits. Good planning gets drilling rigs and oilfield equipment to the new site safely and promptly, which keeps downtime short.
What a Rig Move Involves
Relocating a rig involves significant logistical challenges. A full move usually covers planning, transportation, and setup at the new location. When you compare contractors, look for:
- Expertise in handling various types of drilling rigs.
- Hauling equipment rated for the heavy loads you need to move.
Safety and Efficiency on the Move
Safety comes first on any rig move. Ask how the contractor's crew follows safety protocols so every load arrives without incident. Many haulers offer real-time tracking, so ask whether yours does.
Parts of a Rig Move
1. Rig Relocation
The relocation itself covers every step from rig-down at the old site to rig-up at the new one. Confirm who handles disassembly and reassembly, and who supplies the cranes.
2. Hauling Services
Hauling covers the road moves themselves, so match the trailers to the size and weight of each load.
