Jack-Up Derricks
A variety of Jack-Up derrick designs are offered by MH Pyramid, which typically range from 800,000 lbs to 2,000,000 lbs static hook load. MH Pyramid has an in-house engineering group, capable of supplying a multitude of Jack-Up derrick designs, sizes, capacities and features. These Jack-Up derricks can be designed with the ability to make infield moves with partial setback, while accommodating a variety of other customer-supplied equipment. The capability of design flexibility is our main strength. The Vertical Beam-Leg Bottleneck Design arranges the derrick with vertical legs extending from the drill floor to above racking board elevation before sloping inward to the top of the derrick. This design expands the setback capacity, while improving driller visibility, and increasing productivity. Straight Tapered Leg Design is common for many MH Pyramid Jack-Up derricks. This features straight tapered legs fabricated with angles or beams. In this design, all four legs of the derrick gradually slope inward from the base to the top of the derrick. This design occupies less space on the rig and reduces weight. Custom Derrick Geometry allows MH Pyramid to design and fabricate custom designs for Jack-Up derricks. With Custom Derrick Geometry, whatever the customer specifications require, MH Pyramid can create it. This custom geometry includes Asymmetrical derricks, derricks with an offset well center to maximize racking capacity, and derricks with a straight taper on the fastline side with vertical legs on the other side. This flexibility allows the customer to decide which design would provide the most optimal scenario.

Standard Derricks
Over the years, MH Pyramid has fabricated and delivered well over 100 standard derricks worldwide to the oil industry. Standard derricks are suited for Jack-Ups and Fixed Platforms, where price is a major concern. MH Pyramid Standard derricks rely on a proven, simple design to reduce weight and size for the structure on the drill floor. This reduced weight allows the contractor to put focus on some other portion of the drilling rig to provide the most optimal solution, in order to increase productivity and profitability. Standard derrick designs feature straight legs from the drill floor to the crown block. This design reduces weight on the rig, while maximizing strength and durability in the process. MH Pyramid standard derricks are field tested and proven reliable over many years on rigs all over the globe.

Fast Moving Land Rig

Designed to accompany the latest in modern technology, the MH Pyramid Fast Moving Land Rig (FMLR) generates fast rig moves, quick rig-up and rig-down time, decreased transportation loads and improved safety. The FMLR can be transported in as few as four truck loads, which is a vast improvement over the industry average of triple that amount. With a rig-up time of two days, the FMLR cuts the industry average of four days in half. The mast and substructure are raised simultaneously using hydraulic raising cylinders. The use of these cylinders creates a faster swing-up time and a decreased safety concern, because it does not rely on drawworks power and wire lines as a raising system. Safety is also improved by setting the drawworks at truck bed height and allowing the mast to pin at a height of 3 feet above the ground. MH Pyramid creates an optimal safety environment with this rig design. By reducing the time and resources needed for transport and rig-up, MH Pyramid also promotes productivity, thereby enhancing performance and profitability of the rig. The FMLR is designed to work in conjunction with the latest in modern controls. This has the ability to adapt to the latest industry drilling control systems, remote-controlled drawworks, other remote systems and utilizing AC power to drive the rig. As the latest addition to the vast range of rig designs for MH Pyramid, the FMLR creates a superlative solution, encompassing the best of all worlds into the design, creating the optimal solution for the next generation of land rigs.

Swing-Up Mast and Substructure
With the rising industry emphasis on safety and maximizing effectiveness, MH Pyramid designed the Swing-Up mast and substructure. Self elevating, Swing-Up masts and substructures are designed to provide a safer, more stable and durable mast and substructure. This is accomplished through state-ofthe-art engineering and design principles. Rig-up is accomplished at truck bed height, eliminating the need for a crane. All components may be assembled using a gin pole truck. Using the drawworks power, only two lifts are required. First, the mast and setback structure are simultaneously raised to the vertical position. Then the drawworks, rotary, flooring and doghouse are elevated to operating floor height. Both lifts utilize reliable sheave and wireline erection system. Triangular side frame structure allows the drilling loads and vibrations to be transmitted directly to the bottom boxes. This results in a more stable drill floor. This structure has a large drill floor, free of A-frames. MH Pyramid masts have no A-frames or A-frame spreaders. Some land rigs require the mast to be pinned to the A-frame at a high level above the drill floor, creating a safety concern. MH Pyramid masts pin 6 feet above the ground for easy access and improved safety

Cantilever Mast w/ Box on Box Substructure

Standard cantilever masts with box on box substructures are available in various configurations to handle a broad range of drilling capabilities. The box on box substructure is the product of recent design improvements, which allows for maximum flexibility, reduced rig-up and rig-down time. These added capabilities make this assembly available more quickly and economically than ever before, saving the customer valuable time and resources. By eliminating most of the traditional diagonal bracing, this new substructure can accommodate accessories, such as windwalls, tool rooms and change rooms. This space-saving design reduces the number of individual structures needed on-site, thereby enhancing the efficiency of used space and materials over conventional designs. The open box concept also reduces interference with flowlines, BOP accessories and required maintenance. Durability, however, has not been sacrificed in this model. By design, this is much less susceptible to damage than any previous model, thereby reducing downtime and maximizing production. The procedure for erecting this rig configuration eliminates the need for complicated mast foot ramps. This, in turn, saves the time consuming and dangerous work of bringing the mast up the ramps to drill floor height. Instead of cranes, gin-pole trucks are utilized to bring the mast into horizontal position from the ground level, reducing the overhead cost of the rig.

Desert Trailer Rigs
MH Pyramid designed Desert Trailer Rigs for the purpose of extremely fast rig moves under harsh desert conditions. These rigs utilize the latest in design techniques to move the mast, substructure and associated drilling equipment. The design of these rigs is based on a wheel mounted single or double trailer, fast rig-up and rig-down times (3-1/2 hours maximum), quick moving and the ability to be towed either forwards or backwards. The mast, drawworks, rotary table, hydraulic power unit and substructure are completely contained on a single trailer with additional room for customers doghouse, air receiver, change house or compressor package and drill line spool. A 22 foot high working floor substructure allows the rig to be moved on and off wells with up to a 23 foot high by 12 foot wide Christmas tree. The rig affords a 19 foot clear working height under the rotary support beams. Built in hydraulic screw jacks allow for fast leveling of the substructure. This design allows the capability of extremely fast rig moves, which not only increases the effectiveness and profitability of the rig, but also increases the safety factor in the harsh desert conditions. The trailer is lowered onto high floatation tires by retracting the hydraulic jacks, which are retracted further to pick up the bearing pads. The rig may then move off the well. The trailer can be pulled by a truck at the drawworks end with the mast erect or by a truck at the mast crown with the mast lowered and scoped in. This unit is adaptable to either mechanically driven or electrically driven drawworks.

Rig Moving Equipment

Customized rig moving packages are designed for new-build structures or retrofitted for existing structures. Rig moving equipment are highly specialized and designed according to the type of rig package to be moved, the environment and other customer requirements. Working with the customer, the staff of experienced engineers at MH Pyramid will take all factors into consideration and determine the safest and most efficient rig moving system design to meet the customer specifications, showing flexibilty and determination to increase the effectiveness and profitability of the customer, as well as itself.

Lift and Roll Rig Skidding System
The MH Pyramid Lift and Roll Rig Skidding System transports the mast, substructure and setback along an in-line well pattern, while the rig is in vertical drilling position. The Lift and Roll Rig Skidding System is able to skid in X or Y direction, which means from drillers to off-drillers side or from drawworks to Vdoor side. This added flexibility increases operating efficiency and reduces downtime needed for infield moves. The Lift and Roll Rig Skidding System consists of the following:

Four 200 ton hydraulic lifting jacks Eight 20 ton rig push/pull skidding jacks Four 200 ton hardened roller assemblies for straightline motion and with vertical guides. Four roller bases to support the rig on the location foundation and support for the rollers One set of substructure modification and support material to add to the substructure bottom boxes.

The system comes complete with a control console, which includes independent control valves for jacking and independent control valves for skidding. Valves are included to control BOP handling equipment. The control console has quick disconnects and hoses included to connect the hydraulic power unit to the rig. The versatility of this control console promotes greater effectiveness of the operator, which enhances the productivity of the rig. An electric power unit for rig skidding and BOP handling is also included. A skid mounted power unit with reservoir, pump and hose bracket completes this assembly.

Casing Stabbing Board

MH Pyramid Casing Stabbing Boards are designed for safe travel within the drilling structure and is known for long, proven operation service time in environments encompassing the globe. The casing stabbing board has a mono-rail track, which provides smoother carriage travel, better visibility and a greater freedom of movement, promoting efficiency of the rig. The boards are adjustable from 23 feet to 47 feet above the drill floor and designed to be mounted in a customer specified location. The design allows for carriage to be manuually locked into any position for added safety. Casing stabbing boards come with an ABS man riding certified winch with two automatic brakes to control travel. A deadman type control stops carriage travel when the operator releases the safety pull-cord. A dual over-speed device stops the carriage in the event of wireline failure. The casing stabbing board includes a full body harness, that attaches to a retractable overhead safety block by cable. Space requirements for the system is reduced by the counterweight carriage platform that folds to storage position when not in use. The carriage platform provides a safe place for the operator to stand when carriage is in the stored position.
