OILFIELD DEVELOPMENT
IN THE BRAZILIAN JUNGLE    

Herrenknecht Vertical delivered two hydraulic deep drilling rigs for a large Petrobras oilfield development campaign in Bahia region, a poorly accessible and sparsely populated area of Brazil. The rigs’ hydraulically self-erecting substructure and mast systems enabled jobsite crews to swiftly assemble and raise the rig without heavy cranes – and numerous wells to be drilled.
