Global Jack-up Rig Market Highlights
One
of the most widely used offshore drilling rigs are jackup rigs. They are
self-elevating mobile drilling platforms equipped with legs which can be
lowered to the ocean floor to establish foundation for support. They integrate
a drilling rig, jacking system, loading and unloading facilities, crew
stations, storage areas, helicopter landing deck and other drilling equipment.
They are predominantly deployed in all major offshore production basins and can
operate in water depths of up to 490 feet. Jackup rigs operations have become
cost effective because of the recent technological advancements in equipment
operations. The increasing global demand for energy and the rising number of
investments for off shore drilling activities is driving the Global
Jack-up Rig Market.
