Futrcash, nice write up on the rigs. I stand corrected.

Futrcash, I am not an expert in oil and gas. Please be patient. After reviewing your excellent write up on rigs, I do believe I mistook a drilling rig for a workover rig.

I was told the cement had to be drilled and the casing, perhaps, would have to be replaced, etc. I niavel did not differentiate correctly the two. Thanks for the clarification.

I did some research based on my new understanding. It appears the workover rigs can be rented in some places for about $190/hr. It appears it might take 16-20 weeks to have a new truck built and that typically a rebuilt truck is not recommended (but that might depend on your finances).

This site had various prices for hrly workover rig rentals, costs for drilling rights, etc.:

Here is a nice video of a new Taylor rig for those, like myself, who are still learning:

Here is a picture of a used workover rig (this one is sold, but you can ask about one of the other rigs):

Here is a good source on natural gas:

And I've added futrcash's post to my personal info source on rigs. This is a good example of how I personally benefit from being on these threads.
