API RP 95J, 1st Edition, June 2006 - Gulf of Mexico Jackup Operations for Hurricane Season

The purpose of this recommended practice (RP) is to present an approach to siting Jackup Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) and to recommend certain operational procedures to enhance jackup survivability and stationkeeping during hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico during drilling, workover, and while stacked (idled) at a non-sheltered location. This document provides guidance and processes and, when combined with an understanding of the environment at a particular location, the characteristics of the unit being utilized, and other factors, may be used to enhance operational integrity. This RP was developed through a cooperative arrangement with the International Association of Drilling Contractors’ (IADC) Jackup Rig Committee. The information presented herein is premised on the existence of an evacuation plan, the intent of which is to assure timely evacuation of all rig personnel in anticipation of certain climatic conditions.
