Savanna Directional Drilling


Savanna Drilling Hybrid Rigs for Vertical, Horizontal & Directional Drilling

Savanna’s patented Hybrid rigs have dominated shallow drilling in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin since their launch in 2001.

The unique design allows operators the choice of drilling with conventional drill pipe,casing, or coiled tubing,
all from the same highly mobile platform. The Hybrid rigs are capable of Drilling up to 2200 m, and have drilled over 22,000
wells in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin since their introduction.

Unlike conventional doubles oil drilling rigs and unique to the Hybrids is their efficiency not only in vertical drilling, but in horizontal and directional drilling as well.
This configuration of Hydraulic draworks, topdrive, and coiled tubing injector means that it’s the first coiled tubing
driller that does not require preset surface casing, and is capable of running casing itself.

Typically the main hole section will be drilled with Coil as the rate of penetration is significantly higher than jointed pipe,
as there are no connections to be made. Coil is still more efficient at some applications of directional drilling.
If an operators program calls for horizontal drilling that is beyond the capabilities of coiled tubing, than the Hybrid rig can
switch over to conventional pipe in a matter of minutes, and finish the horizontal section as efficiently as any topdrive equipped modern drilling rig.

The Hybrid rigs are the most efficient way to drill any well up to 2200 m. Period. Coiled tubing brings many
strengths and capabilities’, but because the Hybrids also drill efficiently with drill pipe, the rigs can complete any horizontal
or directional drilling program more efficiently than a conventional rig.
