Nabors' deployment of its most powerful PACE-X Ultra™ X33 rig with Caturus Energy marks significant technological advancement with potential revenue benefits.
Nabors Industries' multi-year contract with Caturus Energy for its PACE-X Ultra™ X33 rig represents a notable technological milestone in the drilling sector. The specifications of this rig are genuinely impressive - a one million-pound mast rating, racking capacity of 35,000 feet, and three 2,000-horsepower mud pumps capable of 10,000 psi mud pressure. These capabilities position the rig at the technological forefront of onshore drilling systems.
The timing aligns with industry trends toward more technically challenging well designs. The rig's capabilities enable 4-mile laterals and 14,000+ vertical depths, addressing the growing demand for extended reach drilling in unconventional formations. This supports Caturus' ambitious production growth target from 650 million cubic feet currently to 1 billion cubic feet daily by 2029.
From an equipment perspective, the Cat® Dynamic Gas Blending technology provides dual benefits: operational cost savings through fuel substitution and emissions reduction. This positions the technology favorably as energy companies face increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact while maintaining production efficiency.
For Nabors, this deployment showcases their technological leadership in high-specification rigs designed for challenging drilling environments. The multi-year contract structure suggests steady revenue streams from this premium equipment, potentially commanding higher day rates than standard rigs due to its enhanced capabilities.
Innovative technology delivers more efficient, responsible and secure drilling performance; expected to set new industry benchmarks for excellence
Enables complex well designs, including 4-mile laterals and 14,000+ vertical depths

Caturus Energy is recognized for its proven ability to drill long laterals and deep, high-pressure wells in technically complex subsurface environments, particularly within the prolific Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk formations of Texas. Earlier this year, as the Company continued scaling daily production, technical modeling had identified the need for a more powerful rig to increase drilling certainty and efficiency.
Eric Kolstad, Executive Vice President of Wells for Caturus Energy, said: "The integration of this leading-edge technology represents the highest standard of power and performance in the industry and, just as importantly, demonstrates our continued commitment to safe and sustainable operations while improving drilling cycle times. By combining these advanced capabilities with our highly disciplined approach, Caturus Energy will continue ensuring that we meet the world's energy needs through responsible and competitive growth."
Caturus Energy collaborated with Nabors to leverage its high-spec, next-generation PACE-X Ultra™ rig, designed to deliver more power and push the boundaries in today's toughest drilling environments. The rig features a one million-pound mast rating, racking capacity of up to 35,000 feet, and three 2,000-horsepower mud pumps capable of 10,000 psi mud pressure. Additionally, by substituting natural gas for diesel using the Cat® Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB) technology, the X33 rig enables improved fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, lowering both cost and carbon intensity. This strategic deployment of technology furthers the Company's technical drilling capabilities in challenging environments and is expected to set new industry benchmarks for operational safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
Siggi Meissner, President of Global Drilling and Energy Transition for Nabors, said, "The PACE-X Ultra™ rig is a significant milestone that showcases what strong collaboration can achieve. Working together with Caturus Energy, we combined innovative engineering with ambitious operational goals to deliver the industry's most capable rig, purpose-built for the demands of modern unconventional drilling."
