How we quote exploration rigs

  • Where it sits matters. We buy rigs stored in the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley.

  • Photos of the head and chuck save a lot of back and forth.

Questions

Common questions

Do you pick up from remote camps?

No. We buy rigs that are in the Lower Mainland or the Fraser Valley. If the rig comes down to a yard here, we'll quote it there.

Do you buy core trays and barrels?

Yes, with a rig or with other tooling. Empty trays, core barrels, rods and casing all count.

Is a fly rig harder to sell?

Not to us. Modular rigs come apart, which makes them easy to load.

Exploration rig back in the yard?

Send photos and a tooling list. We quote it where it sits.
