Based on our worldwide drilling experience, Nabors has engineered a series of programmable A/C electric, or PACE® rigs, that feature:
Minimum 1500 horsepower
22,000 feet of five-inch drill pipe racking capacity
Hookload capacity of 750,000 lbs
Three 1600-horsepower 7500 psi mud pumps
Four engines
Advanced walking capabilities for batch drilling multiple wells on a single pad
Nabors’ unique combination of integrated surface and downhole technologies, proprietary software and pad-optimal features creates more value for customers by significantly reducing hidden flat time and providing consistent performance.
In 2017, Nabors converted its existing PACE®-B and PACE®-S rigs to a platform equal in capacity and functionality as the newer PACE® rigs. Powered by the Rigtelligent™ operating controls system, Nabors has approximately 100 pad-optimal PACE® series Nabors SmartRig™ drilling systems.
