A jackup rig is a barge fitted with long support legs that can be raised or lowered. The jackup is maneuvered (self-propelled or by towing) into location with its legs up and the hull floating on the water. Upon arrival at the work location, the legs are jacked down onto the seafloor.
115 (also known as Barge 115, No.115, or Whaleback 115) was an American whaleback barge in service between 1891 and 1899. She was built between May and August 1891, in Superior, Wisconsin (or West Superior, Wisconsin) by Alexander McDougall's American Steel Barge Company, for the "McDougall fleet", based in Buffalo, New York.

Jack-Up Barge – used in the Gulf-of-Mexico prior to USCG regulation as a marine vessel; Jack-Up - used by UK Renewable (ex. BWEA) but are not necessarily self-propelled; Wind-Farm Installation Vessel – used generally in the renewables industry but are not necessarily self-propelled
Rack Phase Difference (RPD) is a difference in the elevation between rack teeth of the chords of any single leg of a jackup rig with open truss-type legs.This type of jackup vessel operates with a rack and pinion drive system, as opposed to the pin-hole system found on jackups rigs with tubular legs.
Tender assisted rigs are an existing type of development drilling, workover or plug and abandonment rig (same "family" as jack up rig, semi-submersible or drillship).). However, it is the only design that can operate in both shallow and deepwater (from 20 to 2,000 metres, 66 to 6,5
Drilling rigs are either floating vessels for deeper water or jack-up designs which are a barge with liftable legs. [2] Both of these types of vessel are constructed in marine yards but are often involved during the construction phase to pre-drill some production wells.
In 1965, the barge was sold pursuant to contractual option to Reading & Bates. [5] Mr. Louie first drilled at the Gulf of Mexico, where it drilled more than 40 wells. [9] [10] Later it was transferred to the North Sea. In 1963, while drilling on the German Bight, a pocket of very high pressure carbon dioxide [11] struck the well, causing a blowout.
