Punch Through during Preloading Ops

07 May 2009 Dear Members,

Please I need a quick help on this.

Our drilling rig experienced rapid penetration (punch through) of leg #2 causing 8 deg to STBD & 3 deg to aft side.

Do you think this could result to any sort of damage to the associated Leg or Gears?

Info:
- Water Depth (88 ft) - present location
- Jack up Rig capable of drilling in water depth of 300 ft.

Again what sort of inspection or repair can be conducted?

Thanks for your anticipated feedback.
