LETOURNEAU RIG DESIGNS

Five designs. One high-performance standard.

LeTourneau offers self-elevating mobile drilling units in five distinct designs, applicable to most any offshore requirement up to 550 feet.  In fact, no other manufacturer offers more designs than LeTourneau. Through a wide range of comprehensive tests and analyses, LeTourneau ensures each rig meets our unparalleled performance standards – the highest in the world.

Current Rig Designs   All five of LTI’s rig designs have evolved from our philosophy of simplicity   of construction, redundancy, robustness, and ease of operation.
TARZAN CLASS Designed for year-round operation in tropical storm regions with water depths up to 300 feet, LTI’s TARZAN CLASS self-elevating mobile drilling units represent LTI’s dedication to building cost-efficient, long-life-cycle jack-up rigs.	Rig Footprint
Super 116E The Super 116E is built on the strengths of the original workhorse of the industry, the LeTourneau 116C, while expanding the capability of is predecessor, the Super 116.  This rig design provides a proven versatile and cost-efficient tool for exploration and development drilling and workover capabilities in moderate storm locations in up to 350 feet of water.
