Equipment Rental

Modern, low-hour pressure control and air drilling equipment available as stand-alone rental packages.

Overview

Every package in our fleet is available as a stand-alone rental — compressors, boosters, nitrogen units, after coolers, mist pumps, DTH hammers, rotating control devices and our four-phase separator package. Each spread is modern, low-hour and self-sustaining, supplied with abundant spares and, if you need them, our own experienced operating crews. The full inventory and specifications are listed below.

Equipment we run for this service

A self-sustaining, field-proven spread — owned, maintained and operated by our own crews.

Air Compressors

The primary high-volume air supply that powers the whole system, delivering the volume needed to lift cuttings and drive the hammer. A fleet of Atlas Copco and Sullair units.

365–460 psi1,000–1,350 cfmAtlas Copco · Sullair

Air Boosters

Step compressor air up to the higher pressures required for deeper holes, hammer operation and backpressure control. Hurricane and CIP boosters reaching 2,000–3,000 psi.

2,000–3,000 psi2,500–3,000 cfmHurricane · CIP

Nitrogen (N₂) Units

Membrane units — fed by our air compressors — that generate inert nitrogen on site for underbalanced drilling, purging and pressure testing, removing downhole fire and explosion risk.

After Coolers

Cool the compressed air and strip out heat and moisture, protecting downstream equipment and keeping the air and nitrogen package running efficiently.

1,200 cfm300 psiAXH

Mist Pumps

Inject water, foam and corrosion inhibitor into the air stream to create mist or foam, improving hole cleaning and suppressing dust in dry formations.

20–45 gal/min350–5,000 psi

DTH Hammers

Down-the-hole air hammers whose internal piston percussively strikes the button bit thousands of times a minute, delivering very high penetration rates in hard rock. Sizes 36", 26" and 17½".

Rotating Control Device (RCD)

Seals the annulus while the drill string rotates and safely diverts returns to the separator — the heart of every underbalanced and managed-pressure operation.

Choke Manifold

A 4", 5,000-psi double-gut manifold with a PLC-controlled automated choke and remote-operated valves that sets and holds the precise backpressure used to control the well.

4" 5k double-gutPLC auto chokeremote-operated valves

Four-Phase Separator

Closed-loop surface vessel that cleanly separates gas, oil, water and solids from the returns, handling up to 30,000 bbl/day of fluid and 40 MMscf/day of gas. Built to ASME VIII and ABSA standards.

4-phase · 21 m³up to 250 psi WP30,000 bbl/day fluid40 MMscf/day gas

Flare Stack

A 45 ft hydraulically raised flare stack with electronic igniter and propane pilot that safely burns off produced gas during underbalanced and managed-pressure operations.

Data Monitoring System

Continuous real-time monitoring of injection and choke pressures, gas and fluid flow rates, choke position and fluid gain/loss — giving the crew full visibility and early kick detection.

Accumulator Unit

A 42-gallon, nitrogen-backed hydraulic accumulator (0–1,500 psi) that powers well-control functions and the RCD, providing fast, reliable actuation when it matters most.

42 gal0–1,500 psiN₂ backup

Drilling Foam (TEXSTIM)

Surfactant foaming agent that creates stable foam for foam and mist drilling, lifting cuttings efficiently while using far less water.
