Offshore Oil Platforms

Offshore oil platforms are large structures located in oceans or seas, designed to extract oil and natural gas from beneath the seabed. They are equipped with drilling rigs, processing facilities, and living quarters for workers. These platforms can be fixed to the ocean floor or floating, and they are essential for accessing underwater oil reserves that land-based operations cannot reach. The extracted resources are transported to refineries via pipelines or tankers. While they contribute significantly to energy supply, their operations raise environmental concerns and require careful management to minimize risks like oil spills.
