About Huisman
Huisman specializes in designing and manufacturing heavy construction equipment for industries such as renewable energy, oil and gas, and civil markets. Their product range includes cranes, drilling equipment, and vessel designs, with a history of innovation since 1929.

Drilling Equipment Overview
Huisman provides comprehensive drilling packages aimed at enhancing drilling operations through innovation and technical excellence. The LOC 400 is a land drilling rig designed for efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, capable of drilling multiple wells on a single site.

LOC 400 Features
The LOC 400 is a modular and highly automated drilling rig that minimizes flat time and enhances safety by automating processes. It is designed for quick and economical transportation, allowing for safe rig moves without cranes.

Pipe Handling and Automation
The rig includes an automatic pipe handler for efficient and safe handling of casing and drill pipes, capable of tripping 35 joints per hour. It can be operated automatically or by a single operator, eliminating the need for personnel on the drill floor.

Integrated Design
The LOC 400 is fully integrated, with all components tested prior to delivery for seamless operations. It features a monitoring system for remote diagnosis and eliminates the need for third-party sensors.

Safety and Efficiency
The design prioritizes safety by removing personnel from hazardous areas and reducing environmental impact. It features automated systems, a smaller footprint, and lower fuel consumption.

Performance and Specifications
The LOC 400 is rated for 16,000ft and consists of 17 ISO container loads. It includes advanced hoisting, rotating equipment, and a comprehensive mud system, supporting enhanced casing installation and offering redundancy for critical systems.

Environmental and Safety Advantages
The rig's automation and integrated design reduce human exposure and environmental impact, providing a safer and more efficient drilling operation.

Specifications
The geothermal drilling rig specifications include hoisting speed, maximum depth, and power requirements. It operates with an electric power system for main consumers like mud pumps and draw works, requiring 2000 kW of power, and a hydraulic power system for auxiliary consumers, needing 220 kW of electric power.

Geothermal Drilling Overview
Geothermal drilling involves extracting heat from beneath the Earth's surface for heating or electricity generation. The process includes drilling production wells to bring hot water to the surface and injection wells to reinject cooled water, maintaining reservoir stability.

LOC 400 Drilling Rig
The LOC 400 is a compact, containerized drilling rig designed for geothermal wells, suitable for urban areas due to its small footprint and low noise emissions. It has been used in projects in The Hague and Bergschenhoek, Netherlands, demonstrating its efficiency and environmental benefits.

Project Examples
The Hague: The LOC 400 drilled two wells in a complex urban environment, providing heating for homes and offices while minimizing noise and environmental impact.
Bergschenhoek: The rig drilled wells for heating greenhouses using natural geothermal heat, with the project completed in 2017, showcasing the rig's capability in sustainable energy projects.
