Magnum Hunter Resources' subsidiary Alpha Resources has just taken possession of a "robotic drilling rig" that it plans to use to drill Utica Shale wells for the next three years.

According to Magnum Hunter CEO Gary Evans, the rig is "state of the art" and Magnum has worked with the manufacturer, Schramm, over the past six months to develop it.
