Offshore Drilling Technology
Offshore drilling technology involves extracting oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor. Using specialized ships and platforms, drillers bore deep into the seabed, often several miles down, to access these resources. The drilling rigs are designed to withstand harsh marine conditions and manage high pressure and temperature. Once the well is drilled, energy companies can extract oil or natural gas, which is then transported for use. While essential for energy supply, offshore drilling raises environmental concerns, such as oil spills and impacts on marine life, necessitating stringent safety and regulatory measures.
