Moving the Rig

Your partnership will have to pay the cost of moving the drilling rig from its last location to your location.

  • The well known Pythagorean theorem will be used to calculate the distance between the two locations.

  • Moving a conventional rig in the conventional area costs $12,000 per square.

  • Moving a hostile rig in the hostile area costs $30,000 per square.

  • Note that these moving costs are added to the usual cost of the well.

  • When a rig is bought, it starts at square A10 (or A11 for a hostile rig).

 

Organization Strategies

1. Set up a multi-well drilling program that doesn't move the rig too far as it goes from well to well.

2. When moving a rig a long distance into a new area, plan for more than one well in that area  to spread the long moving costs over several locations.
