Abstract: A modular mobile drilling system and method of use supports land-based drilling operations on remote sites. Plural support boxes fixedly deployed in first and second rows define a drilling zone. A plurality of platform support beams disposed from the first row to the second row support a platform for holding drilling equipment. An actuator associated with the platform and beams skids the support beams relative to the boxes to align the platform with predetermined positions in the drilling zone, allowing the drilling of multiple wells along the length of the support box rows. The drilling equipment can also skid laterally across the drilling platform to support drilling of multiple rows of wells in the drilling zone.
