The land drilling market worldwide is structured primarily as a rental market, not a sales market, where land drilling companies lease their rigs to E&P companies for an agreed period of time – weeks, months, or years – at a day-rate. The rigs are then used to drill wells and execute the E&P’s drilling programs.
Drilling opportunities are analysed and explored in order, leaving a series of dry holes, until a discovery is made. It is rare for an E&P company to actually own the rigs which they operate, but there are some exceptions such as Chesapeake, who will purchase their own fleet of rigs.
Under these rental contracts, a turnkey cost is paid by an E&P business to a middleman. This includes an insurance premium, which is returned if nothing goes wrong, but may be lost if there are difficulties. Higher specification equipment commands a larger premium.
Investors require a minimum level of return for their investment dollars in drilling operations, and typically equate cost with risk. These turnkey drilling contracts may limit risk by guaranteeing a minimum number of wells that can be drilled with the rig. The contract will also outline how the rig can be used – including the pieces of equipment, when to change pieces, temperature and pressure tolerances and the weight of mud.
The International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) lists 547 members in the category of Land Drilling Contractors. According to Statista, the key US land drilling contractors are: Nabors Industries Ltd, Helmerich & Payne Inc, Patterson-UTI Energy Inc, Precision Drilling Corporation and Pioneer Energy Services Corp.
Nabors operates the world’s largest land drilling rig fleet, with around 500 rigs operating in over 25 countries – in almost every significant O&G basin on the planet. It also has the largest number of high-specification rigs (including new AC rigs and refurbished SCR rigs) and custom rigs, built to withstand challenging conditions such as extreme cold, desert and many complex shale plays.
Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, H&P is a global business with land operations across the US, as well as offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico. It is engaged primarily in the drilling of O&G wells for E&P companies, and recognised for its innovative FlexRig technology.
Patterson-UTI operates land based drilling rigs, primarily in O&G producing regions of the continental US, and western Canada. The company also provides pressure pumping services to US E&P companies and specialist technology, notably pipe handling components, to drilling contractors globally.
Precision is an oilfield services company and Canada’s largest drilling rig contractor, with over 240 rigs in operation worldwide. The Company has two segments. The Contract Drilling Services segment operates its rigs in Canada, the United States and internationally. The Completion and Production Services segment provides completion and workover services and ancillary services to O&G E&P companies in Canada and the US.
Pioneer operates a modern fleet of more than 24 top performing drilling rigs throughout onshore O&G producing regions of the US and Colombia. The company also offers production services include well servicing, wireline, and coiled tubing services – supported by 100 well-servicing rigs, and more than 100 cased-hole, open-hole and offshore wireline units.
Together these five companies dominate the US rental market. Other smaller but prominent contractors include: Parker Drilling, Unit Corp, Independence Contract Drilling, Seventy Seven Energy, Schramm and Ensign Drilling. Beyond these players, the market is highly fractured, with many “mom & pop” style drillers.
In Texas, generally considered to be the centre of US land drilling, RigData reports that there are currently 678 active rigs – split between Helmerich & Payne (160), Patterson-UTI (85), Nabors (64), Precision Drilling (39) and 77 other drillers (330).
Most new onshore rigs, both drilling and work over rigs, are built by OEMs in China. In the US, the larger vertically integrated land drillers have in-house manufacturing operations, so they will outsource some equipment construction, but assemble the new rigs at their own facilities. The leading provider of US newbuild rigs is National Oilwell Varco.
The secondary market, where existing rigs are sold, is largely auction dominated with mostly older rigs changing hands. As a rule, the big land drillers do not sell their newbuild rigs, as each has their own flagship designs.

I started my oilfield career in December 1975 during Christmas vacation while still in High School . I hired on to Noble Drilling rigging up a rig near Pyote, Texas in 10" of snow and wearing my dad"s size 13 steel toed boots, a size and a half too big. At the end of 3 weeks I said there is no way I will work in the oilfield the rest of my life. 3 weeks later I got that first paycheck for nearly $400 and I was hooked. After graduating I took a job for a farmer / rancher north of Seminole. One day while deep breaking a field I saw a truck hauling a blue dog house headed west and wondered where it was going. I got a call from a driller later that week and was asked if I was interested in going to work for Noble Drilling near Albuquerque, New Mexico. I did not have a car so he and the rest of the crew picked me up in Seminole, Texas and we headed west in 3 cars. Saved enough money during the 2 wells that I made a down payment on a brand new 1976 Ford pickup. We then moved the rig to Arnett, Oklahoma, where West Texas rigs should not go for the winter. Broke out working derricks on that job and the first trip out of hole it was 13 degrees and wind was blowing snow sideways with a chill factor of 22 below, really hated Oklahoma. After those wells were finished we moved rig to Laredo, Texas and drilled high pressure gas wells with 19 to 21 pound hematite mud. In June of 1977 I had doubled over enough with other crews that I got 4 days off to travel back to Seminole, Get Married and move Gail to an Apartment that I had rented in Laredo. After a year there we moved to Fort Stockton where I got my first drilling job. We bought a trailer house because back then Noble paid to move and set up drillers trailers when rig moved from area to area. We moved from there to Duncan, Oklahoma where I found out that a hard rock driller should slow down on trips in that Oklahoma shale country. Drilled many wells in Central and Western Oklahoma from 3000" to 22,000" using all types of mud and seeing all types of hole conditions. We lived in 3 different towns in Oklahoma over the next 15 years working for Noble Drilling. Was fortunate enough to run one of first land Top Drive System when they came out. The most famous well I was involved in was the Apache Key well outside of Allison Texas where the well blew part of all 3 strings of casing out of hole and they dug a giant hole to install a wellhead. We rigged up on edge of the crater and drilled the relief well using old technologies like wireline steerable not MWD. Noble Drilling moved all operations to offshore and sold all land rigs so I took my retirement and hired on to Helmrich and Payne, worked in the Austin chalk drilling long horizontals under balanced and producing enough oil while drilling to pay out the wells before going into production. Gail and I moved back home to West Texas where our family was. After a few years with H & P, I transferred to their overseas operation and worked in Trinidad for a year and in Venezuela for 2 years drilling 27,000" to 28,000"wells with casing string up to 1.2 million pounds. While on my days off back in the states I went with a friend of mine to a drilling rig outside of Jal, New Mexico, He was going to talk to a guy about hiring out consulting for him, His name was Randy Ford. Randy and I talked and he was interested in me but I told him I had a job but could do some consulting on my days off for him if he liked. For the next 8 months I worked 28 days in Venezuela and would work 20 of my days off for Randy while he was in Midland drumming up business for his consulting firm. After 8 months of that we finally had enough work for me to leave H & P and own part of the consulting firm. It was tough because I had never quit a job and was moving up in H & P but I enjoyed working with Randy and thought this is going to be a good opportunity for me and my family. So in 1997 I went to work full time for R. K. Ford and Associates and stayed there until January of 2014. In December of 2013 Randy passed away and it took all the wind out of our company. So in January we formed a new consulting firm called Hardline Consulting Group, So if you look closely Randell"s name is in our new name. We did not lose any of our consulting team or office staff and plan to move forward and become the number one Permian Basin Consulting team.
