Rig 54: A New Chapter in Onshore Drilling
From its first well for GNRL to a new assignment in Rajasthan, Rig 54 marks an important step in Shivganga’s onshore drilling journey.
Shivganga Drillers Limited marked a new operational milestone when Rig 54 spudded its first well for GNRL on 21 January 2026.
A new rig in action
Rig 54 is a 1000 HP, triple-stand AC VFD Cyber Rig from Nabors. The first spud brought together the rig team and project leadership as the unit entered its drilling programme.
Progressing to the Raag Oil Field
In a subsequent company update, Shivganga announced Rig 54’s first well for Asian Energy Services at the Vedanta-operated Raag Oil Field in Barmer, Rajasthan. The project was supported by Sandeep Sharma, Head of PMS, and CEO Rajat Sharma.
These milestones reflect the work involved in moving a drilling unit from mobilisation into active field operations. Shivganga acknowledges the contribution of its crew, project teams and clients in bringing these assignments forward.
