Field Service with Rig Source: Minimize Downtime, Maximize Uptime

At Rig Source, we believe that every successful drilling operation rests on one key factor: keeping equipment working when and where it’s needed. In a world where downtime can cost you days—and every hour counts—getting your rig to the shop isn’t always an option. That’s where Rig Source Field Service steps in.

Why Field Service is a Game-Changer

Moving a rig off site for repairs doesn’t just cause delays, it can derail a project. From transportation costs to lost drilling days, the time it takes to haul equipment can quickly add up. According to industry averages, transporting a rig can cost you up to two days each way, making downtime more expensive than the actual repair itself.

With Rig Source Field Service, that challenge disappears. Our fully equipped trucks and shop-trained technicians come to your site, allowing you to stay drilling longer, save on transport costs, and reduce delays caused by equipment failures.

Field Service at Rig Source: One More Way We Keep You Drillin’

Our mobile service trucks bring the same tools, diagnostic equipment, and expert technicians you’d find in our shop, so you get shop-quality repairs wherever the job takes you.

Field Ready: Our growing fleet of fully stocked trucks arrives with the parts, tools, and equipment needed to get your rig running right — the first time.

Specialized Service: Our technicians maintain our own rental fleet, so they know what it takes to keep rigs in peak condition. Whether you run a Fraste, Geoprobe, Diedrich, CME, or Mobile Drill, we’ve got the experience, parts, and expertise to keep you drilling. 

Our service team is strategically located and constantly expanding to cover more drilling hotspots across the country.

PM Services: Stay Ahead of the Curve

Preventive Maintenance (PM) doesn’t have to disrupt your operation. Our field PM services can be performed when it’s most convenient for you — after hours or on down days. In addition to routine maintenance, PM services include:

  • Early detection of equipment issues before they evolve into costly breakdowns.
  • Consistency: The same technician often returns to the site, gaining intimate knowledge of your rig and making future service more efficient.

What Field Service Can Do for You

Here are just a few examples of how Rig Source Field Service delivers results in the field:

Case 1: Same-Day Solutions for Critical Projects

A customer reported rotary drive irregularities during critical environmental sampling. Our technician arrived within hours with the right fittings and diagnostic tools. The rig was back online the same day, and the customer was able to stay on schedule — and on contract.

Case 2: Overnight Service for Rental Customers

A rental customer called about a RAD gearbox failure mid-project. Our technician was dispatched the same day, swapped the gearbox, and returned the rig to service by the next morning — preventing costly delays.

Case 3: Eliminating Costly Engine Issues

A rental customer noticed a loss of engine power near the end of their project. Our technician quickly identified fuel system contamination, performed a thorough flush, and had the rig operational by the following morning — allowing the customer to stay on track.

Services You Can Trust

Here are just some of the services available through Rig Source Field Service:

  • Routine PM Services
  • Hydraulic Pump and Cylinder Replacement
  • Rotary Box and RAD Service
  • Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting
  • Engine and Fuel System Diagnosis and Flush
  • Winch and Transmission Service

Note: Currently, we focus on mobile services that can be performed efficiently in the field. Larger jobs like engine rebuilds, rotary box overhauls, or welded repairs may require a trip to the shop — but those instances are rare and we’ll work closely with you to minimize downtime.

Building a Culture of Productivity, Together

With Rig Source Field Service, you don’t just get a technician — you get a partner dedicated to maximizing your uptime. Our team knows your equipment inside and out, making sure you spend less time dealing with breakdowns and more time drilling.

If you’re ready to experience the benefits of Field Service — or want to learn more about how it can fit into your equipment maintenance program — give us a call or drop us a message.

Let’s make downtime a thing of the past, and turn every site into a success story.
