Offshore platform

An offshore platform is a large structure built in open water, typically in the ocean, designed to extract natural resources such as oil and gas from beneath the seabed. These platforms serve as operational bases for drilling, processing, and sometimes living accommodations for workers. They are constructed to withstand harsh marine conditions and are usually anchored to the seabed to ensure stability. Offshore platforms are essential for accessing underwater reserves that cannot be reached from land, supporting global energy needs while incorporating advanced engineering and safety measures.
