Renting Drill Rigs Across West Africa: Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, Ghana, Togo and Benin
Working from Ouagadougou across neighbouring markets: what to plan when a rig has to cross a border, and how to request a quote for any West African site.
NIKHI GROUP · 11 November 2026

NIKHI GROUP sources and supplies across West Africa, with our Africa office in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Our markets include Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, Ghana, Togo and Benin.
One request, any of these countries
The quote process is the same wherever the site is: send the hole diameter, depth, metres, site location, start date and duration, and we'll come back with the rig, configuration, availability and pricing. Our PRD OZ RC is available now; other PRD rigs are available on request.
When the rig crosses a border
Cross-border mobilisation adds steps that are worth planning early:
- Customs and temporary import documents for the rig and compressor, prepared before the rig moves. Check the current requirements with your customs broker for the destination country.
- Route planning: border posts, road conditions and any load limits on the way to site.
- Fuel and logistics planned for the destination site, not only the start point.
- Time: build border formalities into the start date.
Choosing the mounting for long distances
A truck-mounted rig travels between distant sites faster on usable roads; a crawler handles rough terrain at the site itself. See crawler or truck-mounted.
French and English
Projects in the region run in French and English, and so do we. This site, the quote form and our team work in both.
Request a quote
Use the form below and give the country and region in the site location field. If you're unsure which rig fits, select "Not sure" and we'll recommend one. See also the Burkina Faso rental guide.
