    Multi-Purpose Tower Comparison
    Bully vs. Globetrotter
    Globetrotter tower is next iteration of
    the design
    Both Drill Floor and Utility Floor are at

    Construction side

    Drilling side
    the same elevation
    Lifting capacity equal on both sides
    (2.4 mm pounds)
    Lower center of gravity on the
    Hoistable
    Globetrotter
    floor
    Minimal substructure with Globetrotter
    design
    Globetrotter construction floor can be
    raised to allow passage of BOP or
    subsea tree
    BOP
    Top 1/3 of Globetrotter tower
