editSaw this barge ("Sea Shuttle") in Chesapeake Bay, November 2008 http://www.bmpcoe.org/bestpractices/internal/ebqp2/ebqp2_17.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/11606523@N06/2637161081/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.142.139 (talk) 14:33, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Operation Type
editI removed Schlumberger's name from the text. Assuming this verbiage was lifted directly from a Schlumberger publication, credit should be given via a Reference footnote. (See, for example, squeeze job.)
Also, the two paragraphs overlap somewhat. The ideas and continuity need to be blended into one. Irv (talk) 12:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

- Thanks. Btw, a picture of an oil-well-drilling jackup on station and jacked up to operating air gap would be more explanatory to non-industry viewers than the one of a rig in mobilization mode that's been on the opening screen. Irv (talk) 04:29, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- Make sense. I threw in one from the Commons that looks cool.LizardJr8 (talk) 14:28, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Size of jackup fleet
editThe article mentions that the size of the jackup fleet was 400 as of Dec 2011 (when the edit was made), then "There are more jackup rigs in the worldwide offshore rig fleet than any other type of mobile offshore drilling rig". This however seems to fly in the face of the rig count supplied by Baker Hughes, which is around 3500 as of Jan 2012. -- Dandv(talk|contribs) 10:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
