This paper examines the new AHEAD ‘Advanced Hydraulic Electrical Automated Driller’ drilling rig Series, a new generation of fully automated hydraulic drilling rig designed by Drillmec SpA to meet highest HSE standards and high drilling efficiency. Starting from the experience and from the field results achieved with the first hydraulic drilling Series, the HH ‘Hydraulic Hoisting’ Series, the analysis examines the main innovative technical solutions characterizing AHEAD rigs. Finally, the paper provides a description about the HoD ‘Heart of Drilling’ package. For the first time, the HoD combines continuous circulation, flow rate monitoring system and an anti-friction device, in order to obtain highest HSE standards and enhanced drilling performance.
