Cable tool drilling rigs have been an essential part of the oil and gas industry for over two centuries. While rotary drills dominate modern extraction techniques, cable tool drilling rigs remain relevant due to their effectiveness in certain geological conditions. They are less expensive to operate, have a minimal environmental impact, can penetrate hard rock formations and are reliable equipment. They are commonly used for domestic water wells, mineral exploration, and oil and gas extraction.
