Specification gaps: this listing record does not state year. Those details exist for the unit but are confirmed directly rather than published, because they are the figures most often misquoted second-hand. Ask Bob for them before you build a bid around this rig.
What is the MD Cowan 1000HP Super Single Rig #4 (Dubai) suited to?
Land drilling rigs are assessed as packages rather than single machines: the drawworks, mast and substructure set the depth envelope, while the drive type (mechanical, SCR or AC-VFD) determines what the rig costs to run and how readily it handles long horizontal sections.
Because the rig is in Dubai, the realistic cost of putting it to work includes rig-down, transport and any import or customs handling between Dubai and your pad. Buyers routinely underestimate this line and it can move the delivered cost materially.
What condition is the MD Cowan 1000HP Super Single Rig #4 (Dubai) in?
This rig is listed as used. For a working unit the decisive items are hours and history on the major components rather than the headline rating: drawworks, mast and substructure, mud pumps, engines and the BOP stack each carry their own condition and their own replacement cost.
How is the MD Cowan 1000HP Super Single Rig #4 (Dubai) priced?
No asking price is published for this rig. Bob Neundorf quotes it directly, because the figure moves with completeness of the package, component hours, location and how quickly the seller needs to transact.
Treat any figure you have seen quoted elsewhere for a similar rig as a starting reference, not a valuation. Two units with identical horsepower ratings can differ by a multiple once the drilling package, drive type and survey position are compared.
What should a buyer verify before committing?
The following is the diligence sequence that applies to any used or refurbished drilling asset. None of it is a substitute for your own inspection.
- Component hours, in writing. Drawworks, mud pumps and engines separately, not a single figure for the rig.
- What is physically included. Get the package list as line items. Drill pipe, BOP stack, top drive, mud system and camp are the items most often assumed in and then found out.
- Third-party inspection before funds move. Commission your own inspector rather than relying on any description, including this page.
- Documentation and provenance. Ownership, any liens, import history and maintenance records. Missing paperwork is a cost and a delay, not a detail.
- Mobilisation, fully costed. Rig-down, transport, permits, customs where relevant, and rig-up at destination.
- Spares and support. Parts availability for the drive type and manufacturer, which decides downtime once the rig is working.
