Probably not, but a modern drilling rig utilizing the newest available technology can most certainly have a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Rigmaster Technology strives to deliver the most efficient drilling rig in the industry and by doing so reduce the green house gas emissions of every drilling rig equipped with Rigmaster Technology.

Rigmaster Technology systems on a drilling rig directly reduce the carbon footprint by utilizing the most efficient power generation and power transfer system from the prime movers to the operating equipment. Rigs operating at peak efficiency consume less fuel while drilling the same footage as older mechanical and DC electric rigs.

Rigs equipped with the Automated Drilling Technology do not require setback capacity on the substructure or racking capability in the mast. This translates to lighter loads with less energy expended. Drilling rigs utilizing Rigmaster Technology have fewer loads on each rig move which also reduces the total carbon footprint on the drilling operation.
