subsea drilling

Subsea drilling involves extracting oil or natural gas from beneath the ocean floor. Specialized equipment is used at sea, including deepwater drilling rigs and underwater wells. A drill is sent through the water, then into the earth's crust, to reach reservoirs stored underground. The process includes drilling, casing to support the wellbore, and installing a production system to bring the resources to the surface. This method allows access to resources located in deep or remote offshore locations, requiring advanced technology and careful safety measures to manage the challenges of working beneath the ocean environment.
