Standard Jack-Up
Standard Jack-Up is one of the rig design concepts for offshore driling in shallow water environments.
1. Water depth range 10 to 120 m for standard Jack-ups
Minimum draft for small jack-up is around 7 metres, which would limit access to the north Caspian Sea.
2. Environmental Impact Potentially low although dredging may be extensively required which would be environmentally unattractive and expensive.
3. Not suitable for ice
4. Suitable for exploration and development. Easily moved between locations in summer time. Rig up . . .
