Labor, material needs estimated for US construction of jack ups

摘要

Jack up rig construction in the US generates an average of $374 million in direct revenue each year and employs about 2,500 people in the Gulf Coast. Although employment is small relative to other offshore industries, such as equipment manufacturing, drilling contractors, and offshore supply vessel construction, the jack up rig construction market is important regionally and in a cultural sense because of its long tradition in the region.
