Onshore Drilling Systems
Land rigs require compact, transportable and maintainable power, drive, control and safety systems that can tolerate frequent moves and changing site conditions. SMEC supports rig electrical distribution, SCR/VFD systems, drilling monitoring, control integration, safety packages, troubleshooting, retrofit and lifecycle support.
Typical scope
- Power Houses, VFD/SCR Houses and battery chargers
- DMS3000 and drilling-control interfaces
- PLC/HMI modernization and network integration
- Gas detection, PAGA, CCTV and auxiliary controls
- Fuel monitoring and remote asset visibility
- FAT, mobilization, installation and commissioning
Brownfield focus
For operating fleets, the commercial question is rarely 'replace everything'. The useful engineering question is what can remain, what can be repaired, what is obsolete, and what must be migrated before the next campaign.
Common questions
What scope can SMEC support for Onshore Drilling Rig Automation & Electrical Systems?
SMEC can support the electrical, instrumentation, automation, control, integration, modernization, testing and commissioning elements described on this page, subject to the agreed project boundary.
Can SMEC work with an existing multi-OEM installed base?
Yes where the required technical information, access, interfaces and project approvals are available. Compatibility and scope boundaries are assessed before execution.
What information is needed to quote?
Send the asset or project, existing make/model where relevant, drawings or specification, required scope, site, required date and any shutdown or mobilization constraint.
