  • the present disclosure relates generally to offshore rig installation and removal systems. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to offshore rig installation and removal systems that do not require a floating step and associated methods.
  • a jack-up rig is a type of mobile platform that generally comprises a buoyant hull fitted with a number of movable legs capable of being lowered to the seabed thus allowing for the hull to be raised up over the surface of the sea.
  • the buoyant hull enables transportation of the unit and all attached machinery to a desired location. Once at the desired location, the hull may be raised to the required elevation above the sea surface with its legs supported by the sea bed.
  • Generally jack-up rigs are not self propelled and rely on tugs or transport ships for transportation to the desired location.
  • the current practice of jack-up rig installation from a transport ship is to submerge the ship first so that the jack-up rig can float off the ship.
  • the jack-up rig may then be positioned at the well site and its legs lowered onto the seabed.
  • the jack-up rig may then jack its hull up from the water surface to a targeted elevation.
  • the removal process may be a reversal of the installation procedure.
  • a jack-up rig is susceptible to damage to its legs when its hull is partially submerged because of the large forces exerted by waves on its hull. As a result, very calm seas are required to transition the rig between a freestanding state and a free- floating state. However, the jack-up rig may not be able to afford waiting out the weather if there is an incoming ice floe or hurricane.
