Hmmm, suppose any of that equipment could be put to use drilling for oil? In the US? The rig pictured on the article web page is capable of drilling for oil but it is fairly light duty and can't go very deep. It is particularly telling that caprock formations were causing problems. It is likely there were more problems than are revealed in the article.
