The Baker Marine 150 ILC is a self-elevating drilling unit built in 1982, with significant upgrades completed in 2004 at Ingleside, Texas. Classified under ABS as an A1-rated drilling unit, this rig operates under the flag of Liberia. Designed for offshore drilling operations, the unit features three triangular legs, each extending 250 feet in length, which enable stable operations in water depths of up to 150 feet. With a length overall of 247 feet, a width of 178 feet, and a draft of 11.67 feet at load line, the vessel offers substantial stability for offshore drilling activities.
The rig is equipped with a variety of storage capacities, including the ability to store 1,720 barrels of fuel oil, 1,705 barrels of liquid mud, 3,382 barrels of drill water, and 1,241 barrels of potable water (suitable for mud and cement). In addition, the unit boasts a 7,552 cubic-foot bulk material capacity, along with storage for 2,000 sacks of materials, making it a highly capable vessel for extended drilling campaigns.
This jack-up rig accommodates up to 120 personnel and has a variable deck load of 13,764 kips. It can operate with a load of 4,373 kips and transit with a load of 1,943 kips when its spud cans are full. The rig is capable of achieving a transit speed of up to 4 knots when towed by a 9,000-horsepower sea tug, allowing it to move efficiently between drilling locations.
In terms of drilling performance, the Baker Marine 150 ILC is designed to drill to depths of up to 20,000 feet. The drilling equipment includes a 160-foot-high pyramid-type derrick with a base measuring 30 feet by 30 feet. This derrick has a gross nominal hook-load capacity of 1,100,000 pounds. The cantilevered drill floor, which extends 40 feet fore and aft and 12 feet port and starboard, supports National 1320-UE drawworks, driven by two GE DC motors. The rig’s rotary table has a 37.5-inch opening and an electric drive rated at 650 short tons. Additionally, the top drive is a Varco Model TDS-5H, rated at 500 short tons and powered by 1,300 horsepower.
The rig’s mud pumping system consists of two National 12-P-160 triplex pumps, while well control is ensured by a set of blowout preventers, including one Cameron Single “U” Ram BOP and one Cameron Double “U” Ram BOP, both rated to 10,000 psi. For annular prevention, a Hydril GK Screw Top BOP is installed, rated to 5,000 psi.
Supporting the rig’s operations, the Baker Marine 150 ILC is equipped with two ARMCO electric mooring winches, each rated at 28,400 pounds of pull, along with two 1,200-foot galvanized wire anchor lines. On deck, the rig features two cranes: a Baker Marine Model 900 crane with a 19-short ton capacity and a 100-foot boom, and a National Oilwell DNS-60 crane, with a 52-short ton capacity, a 120-foot boom, and powered by an 800-horsepower GE DC motor.
Powering the rig are three Caterpillar 3516B diesel engines, each rated at 2,150 horsepower at 1,200 RPM, coupled with KATO generators rated at 2,400 kVA. Emergency power is supplied by a Caterpillar D399 diesel engine, generating 1,200 horsepower and driving a KATO generator rated at 1,000 kW. The unit’s helideck is rated for helicopters such as the Bell-412 and AW 139, with a maximum capacity of 6.8 metric tons.
With its robust design, extensive storage capacity, advanced drilling systems, and well control capabilities, the Baker Marine 150 ILC is a formidable platform for offshore drilling operations, capable of delivering efficient and safe performance in shallow water environments.
