Drilling Rig Relocation in Iraq



The client needed to relocate two sets of 70D drilling rigs (approx. 25,000 cubic meters) from the Kurdistan region in northern Iraq to the Rumaila oil field in southern Iraq. 
At the time, ISIS extremists were rampant in central Iraq, effectively cutting off the direct north-south route. 
Unialltrans accepted this critical mission, adopting a strategy of "progress through detour." Through meticulous planning and a seamless relay of road and sea transport, we executed a massive journey around the Arabian Peninsula, successfully navigating the crisis to deliver the rigs safely and on schedule.

Solution



Core Route

Considering Iraq's vast north-south span (approx. 1,000 km) and overland security risks, a multimodal solution combining "short-haul road transport + international sea freight + southern road transport" was adopted.

 

Milestone-based Scheduling

Adopted milestone-based scheduling (e.g., disassembly completion, port shipment, oilfield delivery) to synchronize shipping space, land fleets, and customs clearance progress in real time, while reserving a 7-10 day buffer at critical nodes.

Multimodal Transport and Modular Packaging

By employing a multimodal transport strategy prioritizing sea freight supplemented by land transport, along with modular packaging, we minimize the risks associated with long-distance land transit and reduce equipment damage. This ensures compliance with the standards set by the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and international oil and gas projects.
