Equipment Profile

Storm Service Rigs has built all eight (8) rigs and complementing equipment with mobility, safety, technology, efficiency, consistency and interchangeability in mind. This allows for ease and speed of repair, part replacement, and crew training. Storm personnel have personally supervised the construction of the main components and has made small but increasingly efficient and safer modifications to each unit we have built, and continue to build.

Rigs

All 8 rig packages are mobile and have Global Model 600 draw-works; 42 x 10 main drums c/w 40-inch Kobelt assist disc brakes and 7/8-inch drill lines. A ram saver is installed on the main drum. Each rig is equipped with a crown saver and two hydraulic winches. For safety, in addition to the main drum protective guard, we have installed railing on both sides to prevent crewmembers from entering the area behind the drill drum and raising ram. All rigs are powered by 60 series Detroit Diesels with rig savers for the engines (positive shutdown), along with the latest electronic and computerized engine safety features.

The sandline drums are 38 x 8 c/w 10,000 ft. (3000m) of 1/2 - inch line, with Electronic Depthometers.

The rigs have 73 ft. (140,000 lb.) freestanding stiff masts with a rated depth of 9000 ft. (2700m) with 2 7/8” tubing. They have two retractable climbing devices with mounting plates rated at 5000 lbs. With an updated monkey board design, the derrick man can egress from the monkey boards and will not have to get to the derrick first.

The tong rams are mounted on the Derrick and the tongs can be carried on the rig or on the winch truck. All tubing elevators are rated at 100 ton. Each rig can handle rod equipment from 5/8 in. to 1 in.

Pump Trucks

Each one-man cab unit is on an identical carrier to the rig units and are equipped with either a 4 x 5 Gardner Denver TEE, or a SJ 300 5 x 5 pump. They are complete with a seven valve manifold system, rated at 5000 lbs (35,000 kpa) and are also powered by 60 series Detroit Diesels with rig savers for the engines (positive shutdown).

Mud Tanks

These custom built tanks have a capacity of approximately 200 bbls. (32 m3). There is a back entry to the top of the tanks. The front of each tank has a manifold system and external gauging. Each is equipped with a man lift (that works for both compartments) as well as a poor boy degasser and circulating trough. There are also small sump systems in both compartments that are linked by external valves, which will eliminate the need for the vacuum truck operator from going to the top of the tanks the majority of the time. The tanks are complete with 400 ft of 2-inch line pipe with safety cables. Windsocks will be used to eliminate the possibility of static electricity from flags.

Equipment Trucks

All trucks have been purchased new from the manufacturer. These are T-300 Kenworth Tandem automatics equipped with specially designed decks for hauling BOPs, matting, handling tools etc. They are powered by C7 Cat engines complete with a high RPM and positive shutdowns. They will each carry a 7 1/16 in. 5000 lb. Annular and 7 1/16 in. 5000 lb. Double Gate.

Doghouses

These units (8 ft. x 32 ft) have 3 compartments and include electric 220 - 3 phase incinerator toilets. Each Doghouse is equipped with electric heat. The office areas have ample working space for the Rig Manager, Consultant and required equipment. The rear compartment houses a 40 or 50 kw light plant and a BOP Class III system (44 gal. capacity; 4 - 11 gal. bottles).

The rig, pump truck, winch truck and doghouse are all equipped with ABS brakes.

Boilers

Storm currently has three boilers available. Each boiler has been fully refurbished, painted, certified and equipped for use; either on Storm rigs or for lease to third parties. These 40, 50, and 60 hp units are as follows:
