Minimum land rig move time

16 December 2008 I am looking for peoples experience of what is the minimum time
required - end of well to spud - to make a short move (1-5km) with a
land rig. We require a rig that can drill to 5000 m and has a mast
rating of around 600-750 klbs. From speaking to other operators we
understand that the modern fast moving 1500 HP rigs (NOV Ideal etc)
can be moved in 4 days so I was wondering if anyone has experience
of other rigs that can provide the required level of drilling
performance but can move significantly faster than this.

Any information you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Doug
