Ensign’s ADR® Series rigs represent the next generation of automated drilling technology. Engineered for precision, safety, and efficiency in the most demanding environments, these rigs combine advanced automation with proven performance to deliver faster drilling times. By owning and supporting our operating systems, we maintain full control of our technology and the flexibility to customize solutions to meet our customers’ needs.


The ADR series lets you build stands offline while you drill. Start drilling stands rather than joints. The ADR series has either a rotating mousehole or a mousehole with pipe spinners so your crew can build double or triple stands while the rig is in full operation. You’ll stay on bottom, drilling longer and saving time on non-productive tripping and directional re-orienting tasks.
The ADR series transports faster than other full-sized rigs. When you’re ready to move, so is the ADR series. It’s a fully modular system, engineered to dismantle, load, and reassemble with the speed of a military operation, featuring a tailorized complex/backyard and steerable mast dollies. Other full-sized rigs can take up to 10 days to move. With the ADR series, you’ll be on your new site in a fraction of the time; ready to spud and saving you time and money.
The ADR series walks on both X and Y axes, delivering the best mobility and flexibility of any rig on the market. Spend less time walking and more time drilling with the ADR series. Its advanced motion control system lets you shift between the X and Y axes in minutes, walking directly to your next well with a full setback; saving hours of walking time on multi-well sites.
As a leader in oilfield safety, we design and build the ADR series with advanced rig technology that protects workers and reduces incidents. The ADR series continues the legacy of keeping every worker safe, every day, with automated controls, ergonomic architecture, a BOP handling system, and tubular handling systems.
Watch our commitment to a perfect HSE record.

The ADR series, coupled with the EDGE AUTOPILOT suite of applications, adds next-level process automation to help deliver your wells safer and more efficiently. Utilizing our Automated Drilling System (ADS), we automate routine back-to-bottom and off-bottom sequences, allowing the driller to focus on optimizing the drilling process and delivering consistent and efficient performance throughout the well process. Ensign is constantly adding to our suite of applications from our development team and third parties to find the best optimization tools to suit our customers’ needs.
