Leading Technology
We have contributed to advancements in drilling and well servicing through the innovative use of technology.
Our proprietary, market-leading Automated Drill Rig (ADR®) is changing the way the world drills.
Our customers demand and deserve efficiency and our ADR® delivers that and more.
The ADR® is purpose-built, fast, flexible, scalable, versatile, automated and safe.
At a well site, a drilling rig sets the pace. All ancillary services are on standby until a rig is disassembled, moved and rigged up on the next location.
Our ADRs® deliver fast rig-ups and rig-downs. They are self-moving/ self-walking, modular and require no cranes, so they can be set up and moved two to three times faster than conventional rigs—reducing well development time by 25% or more.
The ADR® also features a smaller environmental footprint, and is ideally suited for resource plays.
More than 1/3 of our worldwide drill rig fleet are ADRs® and 80% of our fleet is horizontal capable. We offer a suite of ADRs®—the 100, 200, 250, 300, 350, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 models .
If none of our existing rigs meet your requirements, our professional engineering staff will work with you to build a rig that fits any and all of your drilling needs. We start from scratch and custom design all the capabilities and features you require into a newly fabricated rig. You get precisely what you want and need to get the job done.
In addition to the technology advantage they gain by choosing Ensign, our customers also appreciate the experience and expertise of Ensign’s over 7,000 well-trained employees who work to the highest international safety standards. Everywhere in the world we operate, our employees work hard and smart to provide customers with the world-class oilfield services they have come to expect from us.
