MEIL Deploys Advanced 2000 HP Oil Drilling Rig for ONGC

Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) has introduced a state-of-the-art, fully automated, hydraulic oil drilling rig with a 2000 HP capacity at the ONGC site in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. This is the third rig MEIL has deployed at this site.

 

The new rig, known as C3BR1 NG 2000-5, can drill up to 6000 meters in challenging high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Compared to traditional rigs, it is more efficient, cost-effective, and safer, with full automation reducing downtime due to safety and maintenance concerns

 

This rig is the first of its kind in ONGC’s drilling operations and is expected to revolutionize drilling technology. MEIL’s introduction of this advanced rig aligns with India’s 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives and is part of a Rs. 60 billion order from ONGC for oil drilling rigs.

 

MEIL is the first private company in India to manufacture and deploy oil and gas extraction rigs using indigenous technology. The company secured an order from ONGC for 47 rigs through global competitive bidding, including 27 land drilling rigs and 20 workover rigs, with various capacities and advanced features.
