Semi-submersible rigs

Semi-submersible rigs are offshore drilling platforms designed to remain stable while working in deep water. They float on the ocean's surface and are anchored to the seabed by thick cables, allowing them to resist strong waves and harsh weather. The rig consists of submerged buoyant pontoons that keep it upright and minimize movement. This design makes semi-submersible rigs suitable for drilling in deeper waters compared to traditional platforms, enhancing safety and efficiency in oil and gas exploration. Their versatile structure allows for various applications, including drilling, production, and even accommodation for crew members.
