The Jack-up Rig Design Manual

The Jack-up Rig Design Manual is a comprehensive guide used in the offshore drilling industry. It provides standards and best practices for designing jack-up rigs—floating platforms that can be raised above the water's surface using extendable legs. These rigs are essential for drilling in shallow waters. The manual covers safety, structural integrity, and operational efficiency, ensuring that these rigs are built to withstand harsh marine environments while performing their drilling functions effectively. Essentially, it helps engineers create safe and reliable equipment for extracting oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor.
