Building A Legend - The Scorpion: The World's First Offshore Jackup Rig

Описание к видео Building A Legend - The Scorpion: The World's First Offshore Jackup Rig

In the early 1950s, offshore drilling was largely limited to fixed platforms and there were few mobile platforms operating.

Against all odds, Mr R G LeTourneau overcame the challenges in the oil and gas industry to build the world’s first jackup rig, Scorpion, in 1955.

The mobile, self-elevating offshore drilling platform was delivered to Zapata Offshore Company of Houston, which was headed by future United States President, George H W Bush.
