oil platform

An oil platform is a large structure built in the ocean to extract oil and gas from beneath the Earth’s seabed. It includes facilities for drilling wells, processing the extracted resources, and housing workers. These platforms can be stationary, anchored to the ocean floor, or floating, depending on the water depth. They are equipped with safety measures and technology to operate efficiently in harsh marine conditions. The collected oil and gas are transported to land for refining and distribution, making platforms essential for supplying energy resources worldwide.
