[A] mobile jack-up platform ... consists basically of a dumb barge which can raise itself out of the water on legs to well above storm wave height, and upon which is mounted a drilling rig. Some of the hulls are roughly triangular in plan and have three legs, but most are matchbox and have four or six legs ... The jack-up barge is towed to location, the legs are dropped or jacked down to the sea bed, and then the hull is raised out of the water some 50 to 60 ft.  1, record 1, English, - mobile%20jack%2Dup%20platform

La technique désormais classique pour les profondeurs d'eau relativement faibles repose sur l'utilisation de «jack-up», plates-formes autoélévatrices qui restent solidaires du fond pendant les travaux de forage. Celles-ci sont mises en position à la hauteur souhaitée, compte tenu de la houle, au-dessus des flots en prenant appui sur des piles mobiles par un système de vérins et de crémaillères.  2, record 1, French, - plate%2Dforme%20de%20forage%20auto%C3%A9l%C3%A9vatrice
