GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR THE DESIGN, FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION OF JACK-UP PLATFORMS
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Variety of offshore structures are fabricated worldwide in order to be used in a variety of water depths, environments and for a variety of functions. Jack-up platforms were fabricated since the middle of 20 centuries, and have become the most widely used offshore drilling unit for oil/gas exploration and development purposes. In order to be more familiar with Jack-up platforms, this paper is devoted to giving a brief description of the process of Jack-up platforms design and fabrication. This paper also reviews the factors that affect the design of Jack-up platforms. When Jack-up platforms reach their operation location, they need to be installed for oil/gas exploration and other purposes, so a brief description of the process of Jack-up platforms installation is also presented. Eventually, a number of a conclusion is delivered to know where the Jack-up platforms are used.
