摘要： A jack up work platform is recited. The work platform comprises a hovercraft vessel outfitted with several jack up legs. The hovercraft can traverse environmentally sensitive terrain such a brackish and freshwater marshes without the need to dig canals that may cause or exacerbate salt water intrusion. Once the drilling or exploration site is reached, the jack up legs may be lowered, lifting the work platform above the surface. Once the vessel is secured on the legs, it may be used like a conventional oil field work platform for drilling, exploration, or construction jobs for which other work platforms or vessels are typically used. The deck of the hovercraft may serve as the work platform or the deck may be provided with a cantilevered work platform extension. The hovercraft will preferably be provided with typical oil field heavy machinery such as a crane for assembly of the legs, and drill stem as well as for work on other structures.

摘要翻译： 一个起重工作平台被列举。 工作平台包括一个气垫船，装有几个起重臂。 气垫船可以穿越环境敏感的地形，如淡水和淡水沼泽，无需挖掘可能导致或加剧盐水入侵的运河。 一旦达到钻井或勘探地点，起吊腿可能会下降，将工作平台提升到表面上方。 一旦容器固定在腿上，它可以像常规的油田工作平台一样使用，通常用于其他工作平台或容器的钻井，勘探或施工作业。 气垫船的甲板可以用作工作平台，或者甲板可以设有悬臂式工作平台延伸部。 气垫船将优选地设置有典型的油田重型机械，例如用于组装腿部的起重机和钻杆杆以及用于在其他结构上的工作。
