Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU)
A Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is a specialized vessel used to explore and extract oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor. These units are designed to operate in deep waters, often moving to different locations as needed. They include drilling rigs, living quarters, and equipment to drill wells on the seabed. MODUs can be anchored or self-propelled, providing flexibility for offshore drilling projects. They play a crucial role in the energy industry by accessing underwater resources that are otherwise difficult to reach.
