A Spudcan is the foot on a leg of a 'Jack-up' type oil platform
It is designed to spread the load so that the rig does not sink to deeply into the sea-bed. Air will lso be blown thru it when seating the legs to move any loose debris away.
The base of each leg is fitted with a "SPUD CAN" which consists of a plate or dish designed to spread the load and prevent over penetration of the leg into the sea bed. Spuds are either circular, square or polygonal, and are usually
small. The largest spud can being used to date is about 56 feet
wide.
Spud cans are subjected to bearing pressures of around 5000-1000 pounds per square foot.
Allowable bearing pressures must be known before a jack-up can be put on location.

A spud can is a type of foundation used in offshore drilling and construction. It consists of a hollow steel cylinder that is lowered into the seabed to provide a stable platform for structures like oil rigs. The spud can provides support by displacing the surrounding soil as it is driven downward.
