Offshore Oil Drilling - Modern Marvels -


Do we concentrate on finding new oil or producing the existing reserves we have in a better way?
PodCast4UThe technology behind offshore oil drilling.
An oil platform, also referred to as an offshore platform or, somewhat incorrectly, oil rig, is a large structure with facilities to drill wells, to extract and process oil and natural gas, and to temporarily store product until it can be brought to shore for refining and marketing. In many cases, the platform contains facilities to house the workforce as well.
Depending on the circumstances, the platform may be fixed to the ocean floor, may consist of an artificial island, or may float. Remote subsea wells may also be connected to a platform by flow lines and by umbilical connections; these subsea solutions may consist of one or more subsea wells, or of one or more manifold centres for multiple wells.

  2. If it takes more "experienced work crews" to succeed in maintaining the high oil production, then it might take drastic measures to come up with a way to find the right workers to hoist down and take all the minerals/oil they need. Somehow, I don't think the "jobs being lost" part is a way to gain oil independence. They just need the right people.Service Rigs For Sale
