The Frontier Class Drilling Systems are totally integrated packages providing proven AC technology combined with beam leg cantilever masts and self-elevating substructures.  Each system can be adapted to incorporate a desert rig moving system or pad drilling skid system allowing operators to move the rig while fully elevated over difficult terrain, greatly reducing mobilization time.  The designs are available in 375, 500 and 650 ton hook load capacities and are capable of operating in temperatures up to 131*F (55*C).  The Frontier Class is designed around beam leg cantilever masts with heights of 147 or 152 feet and self-elevating type substructures with drill floor heights of 30 feet and clear working heights of 26.5 feet.  Top drive and iron roughneck systems can be employed with all models.

The Frontier Class Drilling System employs state of the art technology offering better control over the entire drilling process. The complete power and control system features proprietary variable frequency AC drives designed, assembled and integrated by Global Energy Services.  Drives rated 1600, 2000 and horsepower are available, and when combined with the GES Automated Driller’s Cabin, issues encountered with multi-sourced product integration are eliminated.  The high-efficiency AC drawworks has no chains, sprockets, clutches or water-cooled brakes.  Braking is provided by AC traction motor regeneration
