Jacket Supported Offshore Rig is one of the rig design concepts for shallow water environments.

  • Steel Jacket can be tailored to water depth.
  • Rig design is independent of water depth.
  • Environment impact is low.
  • Jacket could be designed to withstand ice loads.
  • Installation and removal may be difficult as barge and crane are required to install and pile jacket.
  • Rig can be skidded, so multiple wells can be drilled from single jacket for appraisal or development
  •  Jacket costs expected to be moderate and largely unaffected by water depths
  • Modular or modified Land Rig can be used.
