Sunny, No not at all- great answer! Then top-drive drilling rigs are more efficient then rotary-table driven rigs. The next question is cost. What cost a top drive, versus daily drilling rates savings- i.e., how fast does a top drive unit pay out for a drilling company?

Also where does the top drive sit? Is there still a monkey board on a top drive powered rig? (I.e., same number of personnel on a top drive rig?)....

Sincerely,

Doug F.
