    The document describes several methods for installing offshore oil and gas platform jackets: 1) Vertical lift and set down involves lifting the jacket vertically and setting it directly onto the seabed. 2) Two block upend in air/water uses two cranes to lift and rotate the jacket while suspended. 3) Launch involves connecting the jacket to anchors and pre-rigging it for rotation and placement. 4) Lift and upend loads the jacket onto a barge, transports it, lifts it from the barge, rotates it vertically and sets it onto the seabed. Each method is then described in more detail.
