The first fully electric well service rig.

This is EPIC.

Workover and completion rigs essentially operated the same way for decades with little innovation. Axis Energy Services is finally changing that with the EPIC RIG™ (Electric-Powered Intervention & Completion Rig). It’s the first fully electric well service rig, engineered to deliver safer, more efficient, more reliable operations.

We reworked the well service rig.

BRAINS, BRAWN & UNBEATABLE PERFORMANCE

The EPIC RIG™ is the first well service rig engineered around an electric drawworks. Pairing a VFD drawworks motor with a built-in PLC system, EPIC offers an unprecedented fusion of power and control—but that’s only the beginning.

MINIMIZING MANUAL TASKS. MAXIMIZING UPTIME.

Switching from diesel engine power to a VFD motor allowed us to reimagine the way a well service rig operates. The EPIC RIG™ incorporates new automations and safeguards, dramatically reducing the potential for human error. A streamlined design minimizes mechanical processes and eliminates common failure points.

REDUCE YOUR FUEL COSTS & CARBON FOOTPRINT

The EPIC RIG™ offers new options for promoting sustainability at the wellsite and reducing—or even eliminating—diesel usage. That includes the ability to run on field gas, natural gas or grid power for 100% emission-free operations.

THE NEXT RIG THING IN WELL SERVICES

The EPIC RIG™ is the first next-generation well service rig in decades, loaded with technologies that set new industry standards. Explore some of the innovations the EPIC RIG™ is bringing to well services.

Alternative Power Options

  • VFD house can connect to the grid through a transformer
  • Backup generator can run on biodiesels, field gas or natural gas/diesel mixtures

Dynamic Brake System

  • Faster, more responsive and more durable than a traditional mechanical brake system

Programmable Logic Controller System

  • Enables precision control with up and down speed settings from 1-100%
  • Automated safeguards include bridge and over-pull protection

PLC Joystick with Dead Man Button

  • Prevents inadvertent block movement, protecting against operator attention lapses

Axis CORE® System
