jackup rig at Sunrise

Jackup rig at Sunrise is protected in an inland canal near Fourchon, LA. Jack-up rigs are towed from a drilling site after raising the ‘legs’. Rushed evacuations often prevent removal of the rig requiring the platform to rest above the surface of the water to ride out the storm.
