Specs can be informative… Videos provide evidence…

It’s why we share real-world drilling footage to validate why our equipment is the No.1 choice for geothermal industry leaders. See for yourself below:

How deep can the X65DR drill?

Beyond 2,600 ft (800 m) — the deepest-rated rig we build. It was previously listed as the RC65DR.

Compare the X Series

What are the X65DR’s two heads?

A Eurodrill RH24X top drive with a 5 in thru-hole swivel and floating spindle, and a Eurodrill RH40X casing head delivering 29,500 lb-ft (40 kNm) at up to 180 rpm, taking casing up to 8 in (219 mm).

What rods does the X65DR carry?

Thirty 20 ft rods of 4½ in (114.3 mm) — 600 ft (180 m) — in the standard rod rack and loader, with other sizes available. For deep programs, a tracked carrier with its own rod rack brings more.

See the TC24 tracked carrier

What powers the X65DR?

A Cummins X12 Stage 5 engine rated at 513 hp (377 kW), with 65,000 lbs of pull-back, 26,455 lbs (12,000 kg) of push-down and a 22,000 lbs (10,000 kg) main winch.

Can the X65DR drill angled holes?

Yes — up to 45°, with a 30° angled head tip-out system for handling.

Is there a geothermal version?

Yes. The GT65DR is the same dual rotary platform set up for geothermal and water well work.

See the GT65DR

What support comes with the rig?

On-site commissioning and training by our North American and global service teams, a service kit covering the first 2,000+ operating hours, and parts stores in New Hampshire (USA), Ontario (Canada) and Tonbridge (UK). Remote diagnostics run through GTData, so our engineers can see what the rig was doing when you call.
