PACE^®-M

PACE^®-M800

Designed to deliver maximum drilling performance, the PACE^®-M800 rig further enhances drilling efficiencies and reduces flat time. Its simplified design enables faster, more advanced walking capabilities and quicker rig-up and rig-down times to reduce move times and lower drilling costs.

More Power

• Three 1,600-horsepower mud pumps with 7,500 PSI deliver high flow rates
• 1,150-horsepower top drive provides 51,000 feet per pound of torque at the drill bit
• Four engines that eliminate the risk for blackouts

Maximum Tripping Speed

• 3,000 horsepower drawworks that enable trip speeds of 380 feet per minute
• 800 Kips of hook load with nine lines of string up to maximize block speed
• 600 Kip setback enables racking capacity of 25,000 feet

Faster Drilling

• When drilling laterals at or greater than 7,500 feet, the PACE^®-M800 rig’s racking capacity eliminates the need to lay down drill pipe between wells on the same pad.
• It provides the required pressure to maximize rate of penetration (ROP) while running rotary steerable systems and during extended-reach laterals with conventional mud motors.
• A redundant mud pump is available if a single pump goes down during the intermediate and production holes.

Advanced Walking Capabilities

The PACE^®-M800 rig also features faster, more advanced walking capabilities for multi-well pad drilling. It is ideal for drilling up to four wells per pad and moves twice as fast as the PACE^®-X800 rig. Features include:

• Standard walking distance of 120 feet by 30 feet, with the ability to increase in 100-foot increments
• Moves two feet per minute with full 600 kip setback, compared to our leading competitor’s offering of only 400 kip setback
• Designed with large walking feet to reduce the load bearing on location
• Provides self-leveling mechanism in the event of location settling and easily accommodates off-center surface holes

Faster Rig Moves

Pad-to-pad rig moves impact total well costs. The PACE^®-M800 rig features a simplified rig up/rig down process that reduces days per move and cost per move. Designed for fast rig-up and a minimum number of loads, the new PACE^®-M800 rig can move in two days with fewer crane requirements. It features:

• Two versus four hydraulic cylinders to decrease time required to bleed cylinders and eliminate additional maintenance
• Integrated spill containment in center steel eliminates time and safety exposure associated with rigging up third-party rental equipment
• Extended BOP transport skid allows rotating head to remain rigged up on stack, eliminating rig up/rig down between pads
• Backyard and rig can be rigged up at the same time

Safer Operations

When moving between wells, the PACE^®-M800 rig reduces manual handling activities by approximately 80 percent compared to competitors. As such, enhanced safety features include:

• Walking shaker skid minimizes flow line handling between wells
• Accumulator and HPU skid are mounted to the substructure and walk with the rig
• Integrated catwalk with walking system eliminates the need to reposition equipment between wells on a pad
