Eco Rigs
Smaller Footprint.
Faster Mobilisation.

  • Oil + Gas
  • Lithium Extraction
  • Conventional + Unconventional Wells

We engineer Eco Rigs for projects where drilling performance has to be balanced with environmental responsibility, site constraints and future energy demands. A compact modular design, integrated BENTEC drilling equipment and flexible power options reduce site impact while keeping the rig efficient and mobile.

Modern drilling projects are changing

Space is tighter, regulations are stricter and expectations are higher, but the rig still has to deliver commercial drilling performance.

Common challenges include:

  • Drilling in environmentally sensitive locations and urban developments
  • Limited space for the rig and site preparation
  • Stricter regulation and higher expectations from stakeholders
  • Emerging energy sectors such as geothermal and lithium extraction

Modern operations demand:

  • Efficient drilling with reduced environmental impact
  • Simpler mobilisation between sites
  • Commercial performance that holds up over the rig’s operational life

Why BENTEC?

Designed for modern drilling environments.Designed for modern drilling environments.

We engineer Eco Rigs as purpose-built drilling platforms that combine modular construction, integrated BENTEC drilling equipment and digital technologies. The result is less site preparation, simpler transport and support for more sustainable drilling operations, whether you’re drilling geothermal wells, lithium extraction projects or conventional oil and gas developments.

Every BENTEC Eco Rig combines:

  • Box-on-Box substructures and Bootstrap mast technology that simplify transport and rig deployment
  • BENTEC drawworks, top drives, mud pumps, rotary tables and Power Control Rooms, integrated on one rig
  • Power from diesel generators, a local grid or grid-parallel operation, with optional BENTEC Battery and BENTEC Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
  • The SYNAPSE™ Rig Control System, with rigCARE™ remote monitoring and optiDRILL™, optiTORQUE™, optiSLIDE™ and optiPUMP™ digital drilling software

Integrated BENTEC Eco Rigs are API, CA and ATEX compliant.

“Our geothermal site had limited space and residential neighbours close by. The compact footprint and low-noise design made the location workable, and running on the local grid reduced our reliance on diesel generators.”

FAQs

  • We engineer Eco Rigs around a compact modular design that reduces site preparation requirements, so they can drill where space is limited. Box-on-Box substructures and Bootstrap mast technology simplify transport, while low-noise design, grid connection capability and hybrid power options lower the rig’s environmental impact.
