💡 Offshore oil rigs are large structures used to extract oil or natural gas from beneath the seabed in deep water.
💼 Fixed platforms and compliant towers are used for extraction in different depths of water.
🚢 Floating oil rigs, such as the semi-submersible platform, are also utilized for offshore extraction.
💡 Offshore oil rigs use pontoons and anchors to stay in place and remain stable.
🚁 Oil rigs have living quarters and a helicopter pad for crew transportation.
🔥 Liquid tanks on oil rigs store water and fuel, including diesel for power.
💥 Flammable gas extracted with oil is burned off to prevent explosions.
⛽ The main purpose of an oil rig is to drill and extract oil from the seabed.
🔩 The drilling process involves lowering down a drill bit using a casing, with cement and mud used to separate layers.
🔌 The casing is secured permanently with cement to prevent any leaks.
💣 The blowout preventer is used to prevent accidents caused by high-pressure oil and potential blowouts.
🔒 The blowout preventer has annulars and pipe rams to seal the well and control pressure.
🛢️ Offshore oilrigs extract oil from underneath the seabed and pump it into subsea pipelines.
⚠️ Testing blowout preventers is crucial to prevent human casualties and environmental disasters like oil spills.
🌊 Subsea pipelines create a network for delivering oil from the Gulf of Mexico to facilities on shore.
