"Can the EPIC RIG™ handle deep, heavy work — or is it just for shallow wells?"
We get this question a lot, and it's a fair one. New technology always invites healthy skepticism.
Here's the short answer: the EPIC RIG™ has no weight or depth limitations compared to conventional rigs. Pull capacity is limited only by the derrick rating — the same constraint every conventional rig faces. The electric drawworks isn't the limiting factor; if anything, the VFD motor's instant torque and precision control make heavy pulls smoother and more controlled than diesel ever could.
And we don't have to ask you to take our word for it. Because every EPIC RIG™ is outfitted with our CORE® data acquisition platform, we have the data on every job we run.
A recent example straight from CORE®: working at depths beyond 27,000 ft MD with hookloads exceeding 225,000 lbs — executed safely, smoothly, and fully documented in real time.
That's not a claim — it's a data point.
