埃及西部沙漠与苏伊士湾区块钻机搬迁：拆成几个运输单元更划算？

The wellsite sits north of Alexandria, about 160 km one way with 40 km of gravel, and the move has to finish before the rains.
Today we split into 23 loads across power pack, mast, substructure, solids control and electrical house, about 52 hours of rig-up and rig-down; the fleet has only 12 lowboys and shuttles back and forth.
Looking at Western Desert and Gulf of Suez blocks, is it realistic to get down to about 20 loads, and does the mast travel whole without extra bracing on these roads?

23 loads is not excessive; start by re-cutting them against weight limits, because substructure pieces are usually over-width and permits take time.

Looking at Western Desert and Gulf of Suez blocks, we skidded solids control and the electrical house together and dropped to 21 loads, saving nine hours, though lifting windows had to be replanned.

Check bridge and culvert ratings on the gravel stretch; when that 40 km floods, 23 loads all queue at the same spot.
