ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for leveling and supporting a sub-sea drilling template for sub-sea well drilling operations have support frame means for providing a stable reference surface for the sub-sea drilling template relative to an underlying sea bottom surface, universal pivot means operationally interconnecting the support frame means and the template for pivotally supporting the template with respect to the sea bottom surface and leveling means operationally interconnecting the support frame means and the template for varying the angular orientation of the template about the pivot means relative to the support frame means. Additionally, retaining means are provided for fixedly securing the template with respect to the support frame means once a desired angular orientation therebetween has been achieved.
