The Self Elevating
Shallow Water Jack-Up Drilling Unit design is
mat-supported and provides a stable base for drilling
of oil and gas exploration and production wells.
Four suction piles are located at corners of
the mat to keep the unit from moving and maintain
positioning during strong current flows and wave
impacts. Six circular legs are connected to the
mat structure and the hull can be elevated or
lowered by means of a rack and pinion jacking
system.
The unit can be configured to operate in up to
100 feet of water with a drilling depth up to
3000 meters. |
