The company I work for just got the Noble Jim Day back afloat and it is currently on its way to Turkey!

[@erichardie5247]

This is awesome. I was there that day am I can see myself in the background of the video, and brings me back to how hot it was that day.

[@TridentFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

This rig is on it's way to Turkey to be recycled. Left yesterday.

I worked on the Jim Day from the first well it ever drilled to the last one in 2016. That isnt the Jim day in the video. The Jim Day had 6 columns and blue NOV cranes. Its a cool video regardless, not tying to take anything away from that.

[@TridentFishing]

yeah i was mistaken and just never changed the name ,, thanks for the info

[@DanielGuillette]

I work on ships like that. That one is a fossil made in the late 1980's... But it does have 'DP" system or thrusters. So once its out to sea it can sail at maybe 3-5 knots to location to drill. And once its at drilling location, they either anchor if its shallow, or in deep water they dynamically position over the drill location during the duration of the well.

That rig is at my yard right now for repairs.

[@TridentFishing]

yeah i wasnt sure they look alot alike, from just a laymans eyes

[@sglasgow79]

Is that one of the three they have dry docked on the aransas pass side? It's amazing how big those are and seeing them float by.

[@TridentFishing]

i think it is ....

[@davidguajardo3620]

That’s a different rig. Jim day isn’t going anywhere soon. I work at the dock. It keeps good fish around here though lol

[@sglasgow79]

@@davidguajardo3620 when we were there in September, one came thru and from what we heard, they go the Ingleside for maintenance maybe?

[@davidguajardo3620]
