offshore platform design

Offshore platform design involves creating structures that safely extract oil or gas from beneath the ocean floor. These platforms must withstand harsh marine conditions like waves, wind, and corrosion. Engineers consider factors such as stability, safety, environmental impact, and equipment access. Designs range from fixed structures anchored to the seabed to floating rigs that can move with the environment. The goal is to ensure durability, safety, and efficiency while minimizing risks to workers and the environment, all tailored to the specific location and intended operations.
