Fit-for-purpose rigs have a streamlined design optimized for drilling multiple wellbores using a single well pad. This is called pad drilling. It reduces the impact on the environment as much as possible, because multiple-wells from a single pad can target larger areas underlying environmentally delicate surface areas. Generally, pad drilling can be done with a much smaller surface footprint.
