Elf Elgin Platform

A rariety, the Elgin is a production jack-up, allowing her to be easily moved and used elsewhere at the end of her time in the Elgin field.

She is seen here with an accommodation platform to the left and a drilling platform to the right.

The Jack up is the SF Galaxy 1 and the barge i think is the Poly Concorde,
I worked on the Galaxy one at the time, we were there before the Elgin was towed out so we got to watch it being towed into position and jacked up.
Just behind the Galaxy is the wellhead platform.

Your right it's the Poly Concorde previously the Treasure Finder. I was HLO on her first job after being reflagged, renamed and refitted in Norway in 1991. We took her to Brent Delta for a summer project. No photos I'm afraid though.

I was on the Poly when that pic was taken, or around that time. Not a bad floatel.
