Keep The Rig Fired Up, 24 × 7
A 2 000 HP land rig can burn 10–20 kL of diesel every day; an offshore supply vessel bunkers up to 300 kL before heading to the field. Any delay hits the operator’s bottom line at ₹7-10 lakh per hour of rig time. Our dedicated bowser fleet and coastal bunker barges make sure that never happens.
