Vela (oil rig)

Vela is one of the world's largest semi-submersible offshore oil rigs, designed for deepwater drilling and production. It is a floating platform supported by large underwater structures, allowing stability in deep seas. Equipped with advanced technology, it extracts oil from beneath the ocean floor and processes it onboard before transferring it to supply ships. Its design enables operations in harsh ocean conditions, making it essential for accessing oil reserves in deep, remote areas. Vela's construction emphasizes safety, efficiency, and environmental considerations, serving as a critical infrastructure in offshore oil exploration and production.
