How to Match the ZJ50D to Your Project
Deep onshore blocks brought online over the last two decades were, for the most part, developed with DC-electric fleets rather than the newest AC drives - and a large installed base of SCR-trained crews is still the practical reality on those leases. The ZJ50D is our heavy-duty 5000 m-class SCR DC land drilling rig, rated for 5000 m on 114 mm pipe, a 3150 kN static hook and a 1100 kW (1500 HP) drawworks over a ZP495 table. Its constant low-speed torque and stepless regulation suit deep conventional oil, tight oil, shale gas and deep geothermal work where string weight at total depth is the binding constraint; the sealed driller room centralises drilling data, electrical interlocks and fault diagnosis, and the split layout ships mast, substructure, SCR house and drawworks as modular loads.
A ZJ50D enquiry should open with the combined casing-plus-string weight you expect at total depth: the 3150 kN hook rating is generous, but matching the pump flow rate to the formation losses decides whether the well can actually reach that depth. State also your lowest design ambient temperature - the -40 C to +55 C range includes a cold-weather option - and your grid frequency (50 or 60 Hz), which sets the SCR transformer rating. If your target depth stays below 4000 m, the ZJ40D delivers the same DC drive philosophy at lower capital cost.
We keep a configuration record for every SCR DC land drilling rig we ship, so DC motors, cabinet modules and spare cards are traceable years after delivery - useful when a second unit must match the first. Wearing parts follow universal oilfield standards, with the commercial offer built around your power and string-weight assumptions.
