Think this is probably the best place to stick this post,
Worked in North Africa a few years ago for an oil drilling contractor, this was one of the moblie compound rigs being moved, stopped by the camp so we could re-power one of the generator engines.
The 4 main engines on the rig are cat D379 engines, on the first photo, you can see me and a collegue standing infront of the rig, im 62" as an idea of scale.
The dollys are slid into place then 2 Kenworth 953 Super Oilfield trucks hook up to the front and away she rolls. Depending on distance the derrik is either removed and follows on or can be left in place.
The 953s are powered by Cat 3408 engines (same as in D9N)

Re: Oil Rig being moved.....
I like those Kenworth trucks. Is my eyes cheating me or are they all wheel driven? I think that I see a driven front axle.
How much hp?
What is the weight of the rig?
