When using a particular Unit at a givensite, it is important to be aware and understand the basics behind the different designs under different conditions. The focusof this primer is a simplified discussion of the various sensitivities of Jack Ups while in the different modes of operation. Itis hoped that by increasing the understanding of how Jack Ups work and behave as well as the sources of the loads actingon them, those making decisions with limited information willbe better equipped to respond toincidents and reduce theiroccurrence and/or consequences. Though there are many variations in design and purposes for Jack Ups, this primerfocuses many of these discussions on three-legged Units used for drilling. The primer starts by presenting somebackground and discussions of the basics of Jack Up components analyses. This is followed by sections on Jack Up Components and Configurations, modes ofoperation, differences between Classapproval and site specific assessment, basic analysis, and a discussion of competing aspects of Jack Up design.
