Rig Source Inc. is an international dealer offering new, used and rental drilling equipment, as well as parts and service. Current offerings may be seen on the Rig Source website.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently reinforced the current trend of natural gas-powered equipment when it granted certification to two of GE’s Waukesha engines for mobile, non-road applications: the L7044, a 1,680-horsepower, 1,200 kW 12-cylinder engine, and the smaller 5794, a 1,380 horsepower, 1,000 kW 12-cylinder engine.
Rig maintenance is an ongoing project for those of us who operate complicated mechanical devices in harsh conditions. Seldom do we get a day when the weather is the same as our living room, but we still need to make the job. Sometimes it is hotter’n west Texas and the radiator boils over before the corned beef hash on the manifold gets done.
The company said in a release that the drilling attachments, which connect to excavators, backhoes and skid-steer loaders, are "the first of their kind" in the North American market.
