PACE^®-B

Engineered for Extremes

The PACE®-B rig is built for adversity and strength. Capable of withstanding the harshest weather conditions, the B-rig has a reputation for delivering high performance. Its Box-on-Box substructure and cantilever mast offer unmatched versatility and rapid rig up and rig down times, making it the premier rig design.

Primarily operating across Northern and Western regions, including the Bakken, Uinta, Powder River, Piceance, and more, the PACE®-B rig’s Box-on-Box substructure is designed for easy winterization, ensuring operational reliability and efficiency in extreme cold.

Key Features

• Powerful Performance:  A 500-ton AC Top Drive and 800,000 lb mast rating handle demanding well conditions. Three 1,600-horsepower mud pumps deliver high flow rates, while a 7,500 PSI mud system optimizes drilling efficiency.
• Versatile Subbase: Configurable for conventional or Side-Saddle® orientations, adapting to site-specific needs
• Advanced Walking System: Precise movement directly over the wellhead in both X and Y directions
• Smart Technology: The SmartROS® rig operating system streamlines operations with intuitive controls and automation, optimizing drilling performance and minimizing errors.

Benefits

• Improved Safety: Reduced manual handling, enhanced visibility, and automated systems create a safer work environment.
• Increased Efficiency: Powerful mud pumps, high-pressure mud system, and advanced top drive maximize drilling performance.
• Enhanced Mobility: Advanced walking capabilities optimize operations on multi-well pad drilling projects.

SmartROS^® Platform

The PACE^®-B rig comes with Nabors state-of-the-art SmartROS platform to further enhance drilling performance. SmartROS controls feature intuitive, icon-based navigation screens that adjust based on current rig activity. Integrated with advanced downhole tools, the control system enables the automation of repetitive tasks and alerts the driller of any potential issues.

Upgraded Autodriller

Standard on Nabors’ rigs, the upgraded autodriller is engineered to enhance operational efficiency with precise Weight on Bit (WOB) and differential pressure control, enabling higher rates of penetration (ROP) and significantly reducing bit wear.
