2500HP Skid Mounted Rig (ZJ80)

The ZJ80 is a fixed-station rig sized by its depth envelope: 6000–9000m nominal drilling with 114mm drill pipe, or 5000–8000m with 127mm pipe, on a 6750kN hook rating strung 7×8 with Φ42mm drill line under a 48m K-type mast. The drive chain is electric rather than mechanical, five 1200kW diesel generators feed an AC-VFD-AC bus, with a 2210kW (3000hp) drawworks under stepless speed control and three 1600hp mud pumps on the circulation side. Substructure heights of 10.5m and 12m plus a 1257.3mm (49.5-inch) rotary table accommodate the casing and BOP hardware that ultra-deep programs require of this skid mounted rig. That configuration is selected for continuous duty, a rig that stays on one location for years, drilling and then working over the well it drilled, which is exactly the assignment the truck-mounted fleet cannot take.

Core advantages

Designed around the operating requirement.

AC-VFD-AC Drive with a 2210kW Drawworks

Power comes from five 1200kW diesel generator sets onto a VFD bus, and the 2210kW (3000hp) drawworks draws on that bus with stepless speed regulation. Hoisting torque is available from crawl speed upward, and because drive control is electric, the heavy stands of an 8000m string are handled in one continuous motion rather than a series of clutch shifts.

6750kN Hook Rating on a 7×8 Traveling System

The block is strung 7×8 with Φ42mm drill line to reach a 6750kN maximum hook load. At nominal depth with 114mm pipe the string weight plus jarring margin stays inside the drawworks rating, and the same hoisting train serves the deep-repair and fishing programs the rig takes on after drilling.

10.5m / 12m Substructure and Modular Skid Mating

Substructure height is chosen at order time, 10.5m or 12m, so the BOP stack, spool pieces and wellhead hardware fit under the floor. The skid breaks into road-transportable modules that re-mate on a prepared foundation, giving a fixed-station rig the mobilization option of a unit that can be moved between strategic locations when a campaign ends.

3×1600hp Mud Pumps, 52MPa Manifold, 600m³ Solids System

Circulation is sized to the hole: three 1600hp mud pumps feeding a Φ102mm manifold rated at 52MPa, with a solids-control system holding at least 600m³. That combination covers the circulating pressure losses of an 8000m column and the hole-cleaning rates the drilling program calls for between trips.

Enclosed VFD/MCC Control and Stepless Hoisting

The control cabin houses the VFD drive and MCC boards, and the drawworks operates under stepless speed control from the same system. Hoisting speed is set and held electronically, which removes the load surge of mechanical gear shifting and gives the driller repeatable control of string velocity in the critical final meters of each stand.

Low-Temperature and Desert Build as Standard

The -45℃ to 55℃ operating band is engineered in: low-temperature steel in the skid structure, heated enclosures for the VFD and MCC cabins, cold-start and dust filtration on the generator sets, and ventilation sized for sustained full load in desert heat. The 48m mast and substructure are rated for the wind and ice loads of high-altitude sites.

Application

Where this equipment is used.

  • The fixed-station flagship: drilling to 6000–9000 m on 114 mm pipe, or 5000–8000 m on 127 mm, with a 6750 kN hook on a 7×8 string.
  • National-scale ultra-deep development and completion programmes where the 2210 kW drawworks and five-generator AC-VFD-AC plant run continuous duty.
  • Ultra-deep workover and heavy casing work on the same location, using the 48 m K-type mast and 10.5–12 m substructure.
  • Large casing strings through the Φ1257.3 mm rotary table and ≥600 m³ circulating system.
  • Long-cycle secondary development and deepening of strategic ultra-deep fields on established pads.
  • Fixed-station operation in high-altitude, desert and Gobi bases with climate provisions configured at order time.

Configuration

Options for a matched equipment scope.

Available configurations can be matched to the equipment model, operating conditions and project requirements.

  • Hook and hoist margin: confirm the 6750 kN rating, 7×8 line arrangement and 48 m mast static load against the heaviest planned string.
  • Circulating scope: three 1600 hp mud pumps, tank capacity and manifold rating set against the drilling-fluid programme.
  • Power plant: generator configuration, VFD bus and any grid or emission requirements matched to the site.
  • Foundation: skid base layout, substructure height (10.5 m or 12 m) and tie-down arrangement confirmed against the pad.
  • Winter and heat provisions on 2500HP Skid Mounted Rig (ZJ80): low-temperature start, heat preservation and coating matched to the region.
  • Paperwork and training for 2500HP Skid Mounted Rig (ZJ80): manuals, factory test report and first-period spares ship with the unit; commissioning and familiarization on request.
Buyer questions

Frequently asked about this equipment.

Buyers comparing the 2500HP ZJ80 with the 2000HP class usually ask about the 6,750 kN hook and 7×8 line arrangement.

What core upgrades does the 2500HP ZJ80 rig have compared with the 2000HP ZJ70DB model?

The ZJ80 is the largest fixed-station unit in the skid line: hook rating rises to 6750 kN on a 7×8 string with Φ42 mm line, drawworks power to 2210 kW (3000 hp), and the power plant to five 1200 kW generators feeding an AC-VFD-AC bus. Nominal drilling depth reaches 6000–9000 m on 114 mm pipe (5000–8000 m on 127 mm), which is the load and depth margin over the ZJ70DB class.

Is the heavy modular skid structure easy to install and commission?

The rig ships as pre-assembled modules, each with its factory test completed, the drawworks module under 2210kW load, the mud system pressure-checked, the VFD/MCC cabinets pre-commissioned. On site the work is foundation preparation, skid mating, and inter-module piping and cable hookup, typically a matter of days with the rig's own craneage instead of weeks of field assembly.

What dual duties does the ZJ80 cover on one hoisting envelope?

Drilling and heavy workover share the same hoisting envelope on this rig. In drilling duty it makes hole to 6000–9000m with 114mm pipe; in workover duty the 6750kN hook and 48m mast handle deep repairs, completion runs and fish recovery at well depths beyond the reach of the truck-mounted fleet.

Can it operate stably in ultra-low-temperature and desert extreme environments?

The electrical drive is the main climate answer: the VFD and MCC cabins are enclosed and climate-controlled, the generator sets carry cold-start and dust systems, and the mud plant's ≥600m³ capacity with heated tank options keeps circulation running when surface temperatures approach -45℃. For desert service, the drive-room ventilation and radiator sizing are set for sustained full load in 55℃ heat.

What after-sales support is available for the ZJ80 rig?

Delivery includes installation drawings, technical manuals and factory test reports for each module, plus a recommended spare list for the first operating period. Remote technical guidance is provided at no charge. For strategic projects, our engineering team can supervise installation, commissioning and operator training on site.
