3.0 CONSIDERATIONS
For these assessment we are consider different classes of Jack Ups, one specific model of crane and a
minimum value in the Air Gap to discard possible clashes or interferences between both structures.

3.1 Jack-Ups

We are considering the next 5 classes of Jack-Ups, provided by ACTIVO


 F&G JU-2000e
 PPL Pacific class 400
 Keppel Fels Super A
 Keppel Fels Super B
 COSL CJ46

3.2 Pedestal Crane


Also for this assessment we are considering a crane MODEL 340B2A-90 with the geometry shows below
(Figure 3 -1 and Figure 3 -2) with a total height of 6m (236.5in) in crane arrangement.

3.3 Air Gap

Its necessary take special attention in a possible overhang outside of the beam clearance, of certain units
during handing

We are considering a value of 98 ft to use in the air gap dimension (Figure 3 -3).

The hull elevation used in the arrangement shall comply with the requirements specified in:

 A hull elevation resulting in at least 1,5 m clearance between the assessment return period extreme wave
crest elevation and the underside of the hull shall be provided (Table 1 REF. 2).

 The minimum clearance between the jack-up hull and an adjacent structure or another floating vessel during
positioning should not be less than 3.0 meters at any point during the positioning operation (Table 1 REF. 1)

Generally this is the larger of that required to maintain adequate clearance.


This value must be corroborated by the operating area

4.1 Interferences with ACTIVO Central and F&G JU-2000e

In the centered position at first look we don’t have possible interference between the cantilever or drill floor
and some elements over the main deck of Structure as shown in the Figure 4 -6

Figure 4-6 - Drill Floor centered on wells area

In the port position of the drill floor over the wells area we noticed a possible interference with the crane and
drill floor as shown in the Figure 4 -7, for this reason we check the elevations in this arrangement to
corroborate the possibility to have a clash between these elements.

For the elevation arrangement we consider minimum 98 ft for the Air Gap. With this consideration we confirm
the null possibility to have a clash between the drill floor and the crane as shown in the Figure 4 -8 with
31.89ft (9.72m) of clearance between crane and the bottom of the drill floor.

In the stbd position of the drill floor over the wells area we don’t noticed a possible clash with some element
over the main deck.

10.0 CONCLUSIONS
With the consideration of the use 98 ft in the Air Gap for each RIG we obtain good results in the separation
between the Deck elements and Rig elements with possibilities of clash or interference.

If we compare the assessments of both Jackets (ACTIVO Central/Satellite) we can clearly see that
interference problems are between ACTIVO Central and the Jack-ups

Below is shown a table with the result of the assessment of clearance between the elements of the Jack-Ups
and the elements of ACTIVO Central.

Table 2 – Clearances between ACTIVO Central and Jack-Ups

 The horizontal clearance is taking between Cantilever and Crane


 The vertical clearance is taking between Drill Floor and Crane

In the Table 2 we can see the comparative of clearances with ACTIVO Central and Jack-Ups, with base in this
comparative we can see that the most unfavorable Jack-up is the Keppel Fels Super B class (Option 4) with
the most shorter clearance in both directions.

11.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
For the options 2, 4 and 5 the free height it does not provide a reasonable tolerance for possible adjustments
in the height of the pedestal crane, for this reason our suggestions are.

 Take this three Jack-ups (options 2, 4 and 5) in the last use options unless increase the Air Gap 6ft
(1.8m).

 Don’t reduce the value in the Air Gap to warranties cero interferences between the structures.

 In the case of having to reduce the value of the AIR GAP take off the crane during the drilling works to
prevent equipment damage.

Is necessary the approbation of the operating area about the use of the considerations in the Air Gap.
