Oil Rig Design

Oil rig design involves creating structures capable of safely extracting oil and gas from beneath the Earth's surface, whether on the ocean floor or land. Engineers consider factors like the environment, safety, and efficiency, designing platforms that withstand harsh weather, waves, and pressures. Structures can be fixed or floating, with equipment to drill wells, process hydrocarbons, and manage safety systems. The design process balances durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring reliable operation while protecting personnel and the environment. It combines principles of engineering, geology, and environmental science to create complex, resilient infrastructures for energy production.
