Offshore oil and gas exploration

Offshore oil and gas exploration involves searching for and extracting natural resources beneath the ocean floor. Companies use specialized drilling platforms, known as rigs, to extract these resources from beneath the seabed, often miles away from land. The process includes geological surveys to identify potential underground reservoirs, followed by drilling wells to confirm the presence of oil or gas. Once found, production facilities process and transport the resources for use. This method allows access to vast reserves that aren't reachable from land, but it requires advanced technology and careful environmental management due to its scale and potential ecological impacts.
