Jack Up Rig
A jack-up rig stands on legs that penetrate the seabed to provide stability. The rig’s deck is elevated above the water, providing safety from tidal motions and waves. Depending on the Rig capacities, they are primarily deployed for developmental or exploratory drilling in water depths up to 500 feet deep. Jack-up rigs usually have the mast on a cantilever with longitudinal and transverse motion.
