Why XCMG's Modular Drilling Rig Keeps Making Headlines - in Xuzhou Daily and on

November 11,2026

What makes a single drilling rig "break out" again and again? The answer lies 4,000 meters underground. Not long ago, the XCMG XSM2250 fully hydraulic modular drilling rig was included in Jiangsu Province's 2026 New Technology and New Product list and was appraised by the China Construction Machinery Industry Association as "internationally leading overall." Behind the dense focus of mainstream media is a hard-core breakthrough - from "following" to "leading."

Part 01 Reason for the List - Pulling Workers Away from the High-Risk Wellhead

In 2023, a XCMG R&D team saw at a Shanxi well site that a single 9.6-meter drill pipe required five or six processes and relied on veteran workers' feel to screw and unscrew. XCMG's answer: an integrated "grab-lift-flip-send" manipulator that delivers the tool from the ground to the wellhead in one pass, improving tripping efficiency by 30%; and CNN-based joint-recognition that lets the make-up device "see" the torque itself, with a make-up accuracy of no less than 98% and one-touch make-up/break-out, completely replacing high-risk manual operation.

Part 02 Reason for the List - It Both "Breaks Through" and "Drills Precisely"

In deep strata where soft and hard layers alternate, XCMG lets the rig "sense" the formation itself, improving drilling efficiency by 21%; electro-hydraulic positive-flow pump-valve coordinated control compresses response time to within 87 milliseconds. A 225-tonne-class lifting force breaks the monopoly of imported hydraulic rigs, with 14 patents forging the confidence of localization.

Part 03 Reason for the List - Truly Calculating the "Benefit Account" for Customers

Departing from Xuzhou, drilling toward greater depths. The weight of the XSM2250 is more than 4,000 meters of drilling depth - it is the era's answer sheet for the localization of high-end energy equipment.

Turning the impossible into the possible, and turning deep-earth resources into development momentum - that is why XCMG keeps making the list.
