Abstract: In the North-East and Arctic regions of the Russian Federation, self-propelled drilling rigs of various modifications are in high demand for drilling of various purpose wells during exploration and engineering works. Due to the geographical inaccessibility of the production sites during the warm season, the bulk of drilling work is carried out in winter. The drilling fleet of exploration companies is becoming obsolete due to the lack of stable production of new generation drilling equipment by domestic plants, so now the process of purchasing imported equipment with higher technological capabilities, but not enough adapted to work in the harsh climatic conditions of the cryolithic zones of the northern and arctic regions, has begun. Besides, the enthusiasm for imported equipment, as we know, leads to constant dependence on foreign companies – suppliers of spare parts, technological means and materials and providing maintenance of drilling rigs.
