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:
