Creating a new well for hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, can be a dangerous and difficult process. With massive truckloads of supplies, conventional well technology generally requires a significant amount of set-up time with a lot of potential for injury, as the process of loading pipe into a well presents oil workers with a multitude of hazards. New advancements in rig technology, however, promise to make these difficulties and dangers a thing of the past.
The newest innovation in rig technology is from Schramm, Inc., which has developed a futuristic product called T500XD, a computerized rig that offers several advantages over conventional technology. Featuring automated processes, the drill is easier to operate than previous rigs, and its self-assembly process requires half the time to construct. T500DX can also be walked from one well to the next, eliminating the deconstruction and reconstruction process. As a consequence, these new wells will require far fewer workers, a positive development for the various oil- and gas-rich regions of the United States that have difficulty in finding enough workers.
