Drilling Rig Mat

Rig mats built for oilfield service

Rig mats face conditions a general access mat is not built for: spilled hydrocarbons and drilling fluids, static around the rig, Arctic cold and desert heat, and years on a lease pad. These oilfield mats are moulded from virgin HDPE with impact modifiers for that duty — proper drilling rig mats, not a repurposed construction panel — see ground protection mats for oil & gas sites.

Chemical, temperature, and static resistance

HDPE shrugs off the oils, brine, and drilling fluids that degrade timber and rubber, and the formulation is anti-static for work around the rig floor. It stays serviceable from −50 °C to +60 °C, so the same spec works on a Canadian winter lease and a Gulf summer pad without going brittle in the cold or soft in the heat.

Heavy loads, long life

Available 4×8 ft up to 7.5×14 ft and 1/2–4 in thick, the mat spreads loads to ~120 t and around 828 psi point on prepared ground, linking by flange/pin or bolt into a continuous platform. A 10–15 year service life and high salvage value matter on multi-well programs where mats are recovered and redeployed rig move after rig move.

Where it works

Drill-floor and setback areas, rig-move access roads, and well-site lease pads. We offer these composite/HDPE rig mats for sale and rig mats for rent by the container; for non-oilfield heavy access the heavy-duty mat or the extra-heavy bog mat is more economical, but where chemicals, static, and temperature extremes are in play, oilfield rig mats earn their premium.
