"This looks like a Lang (driver's door) Drilling Company (division of Boart Longyear) hydraulic well drilling rig. I can't make out the license plate issuer but Boart Longear/Lang is out of Salt Lake Cit, UT."

Lang Exploratory Drilling, a division of Boart Longyear, is a diverse rotary drilling organization offering unique mud and air rotary drilling services to a variety of industries. Lang is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has offices across the U.S. Boart Longyear offers a full compliment of drilling and related services to the groundwater, environmental, construction/geotechnical, mining and energy industries.

"Since there's not a lot of infrastructure in Alaska, I've seen drill rigs like this throughout the Anchorage and MatSu area. It looks like the drilling equipment might have been fitted on a older mobile crane truck (guessing because of the smaller driver's cab)." - Skip Williams
