Application of jack-up rigs to offshore production

Conference · · Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5957571

The paper discusses the application of self-elevating platforms (jack-up rigs) to offshore production. Particular emphasis is placed on South East Asia, where marginal field development of short life fields in relatively shallow water depth is a prime consideration. Cost comparison between a jack-up rig and a fixed platform are discussed using an actual estimate of installed costs for a specific field development. The technical features and limitations of the jack-up rig are also dealt with.
