English term or phrase: super-spec rig
Hallo liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
in einem Fondsbericht wird erzählt, dass die Nachfrage nach "super-spec rigs" steigt. Das fragliche Unternehmen ist ein führender Ausrüster für unkonventionelle Onshore-Ölbohranlagen, also für Schieferöl- und gas.

The company’s prospects are driven by the development of unconventional oil wells in the US. Even though long-term fundamentals, specifically the companiy's positioning as the main beneficiary of the ***increase in demand for super-spec rigs***, remain intact, we believe the short-term thesis has played out. Since the bargain recommendation, OPEC’s production cuts have led to a drop in inventories and an increase in oil prices. This, in turn, has led to a re-rating of the company's stock, which now appears fairly valued to us.

Ich habe nur wenige Quellen bei Google gefunden, alle auf Englisch, und es scheint mir, dass das wesentliche besondere Merkmal dieser "Super-Specs" die große Größe (sei's drum) im Vergleich zu anderen Rigs ist:

Beispiel:
Now he sits behind six computer screens and a complex array of controls, piloting a 10-ton wrench on a so-called super-spec rig, one of a new breed of advanced drilling machines that are bigger and stronger than the ones that sparked the first U.S. shale oil bonanza a few years ago.

Mir fällt da nichts Besseres ein als "sogenannte Super-spec-Bohranlagen". Wenn ich wüsste, wofür "spec" steht (Spezifikation, Spekulation ...), wäre ich schon schlauer.
Kann mir jemand helfen?
Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung!

Explanation:
See discussion entry for the "super specifications" - what it really means that they cut down on the drilling crew and do much of what the drillers had to do with computer controlled tools and systems. In a nutshell: bigger, better and more advanced.

Onshore geht natürlich auch - ist ja schon Neuhochdeutsch :-)

Asker: Ob "landgestützt" hier so gut passt, weiß ich nicht. Ich habe das gute alte deutsche Wort "Onshore" verwendet.
