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 to deliver high flow rates
A 1,150-horsepower top drive to provide 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
Rigtelligent™ Control System
The PACE®-M800 rig comes with Nabors state-of-the-art Rigtelligent™ controls to further enhance drilling performance. Rigtelligent™ controls feature intuitive, icon-based navigation screens that adjust based on current rig activity. Integrated with advanced downhole tools, the control system enables the automation of repetitive tasks and alerts the driller of any potential issues.
