LeTourneau Leg Design Ensures Reliable Jacking of Offshore Rigs.

Longview, TX – With jack-up rig leg construction that utilizes one million more pounds of steel than any other supplier, LeTourneau Technologies™ Offshore Products ensures its jack-up rigs are designed to meet specific conditions and deep drilling requirements from shallow draft to extreme environments.

The company’s unique open-truss design and heavier leg construction (up to 713 feet in length) provides additional durability in the harshest environments of deep drilling applications. In addition, it results in longer rig life, greater on-site stability, and improved return on investment.  LeTourneau jack-up rigs are considered so rugged,  some have called them “almost roughneck proof.”

Regardless of the terrain on the ocean floor, the LeTourneau leg is designed to meet and surpass application requirements, even when encountering pot holes and irregular surfaces.  More than one-third of all jack-up rigs in operation today have been built by LeTourneau, and many are still working after more than 30 years, with more than 20 million hours of trouble-free performance.
