Drilling Rig Rental Concise Guide

Drilling Rig Rental Concise Guide

I. Define Project Needs

First, select the appropriate rig based on geology, borehole diameter, depth, and site conditions. Rotary drilling rigs are suitable for soft soil, while impact drilling or core drilling is required for hard rock. Lightweight drilling rigs are suitable for small-diameter, shallow holes, while large-diameter, deep wells require large-scale specialized equipment.

II. Choose a Rental Method

Choose according to the project duration: short-term projects (within 1 month) can be rented daily, while long-term projects (1-12 months) are more economical with monthly rentals. If there are no operators, prioritize "rental with personnel" for peace of mind and guaranteed technical support.

III. Inspect Key Equipment Items

Before renting, conduct an on-site inspection: ensure the drill frame is intact, check for abnormal noises and leaks in the power head and hydraulic system, verify the quantity of drilling tools is sufficient, and check for excessive wear. Also, verify the equipment's recent inspection reports and maintenance records.

IV. Key Points of the Contract

Clearly define the rental period, rental fee, transportation costs, and payment method; clearly define responsibilities for equipment malfunctions, damage, and safety accidents; confirm the repair response time and backup equipment support terms.

V. Cost and Risk Control

Choose local suppliers whenever possible to reduce transportation costs and ensure faster response times; negotiate for long-term lease discounts; ensure equipment is insured; maintain daily equipment operation and inspection records.

VI. Key Recommendations

Don't just focus on price; equipment condition, supplier technical support, and reputation are equally important. Plan ahead, allow time for equipment commissioning, and partner with a reputable and established leasing company.
