Petroleum-platforms

Petroleum platforms, oil platforms, or offshore drilling platforms are large structures with well drilling facilities for the exploration, production, storage and processing of oil and natural gas located in rock formations beneath the seabed. Many oil platforms will also include facilities to accommodate their workers. Oil platforms are most often involved in activities on the continental shelf, although they can also be used in lakes, coastal waters and inland seas. Depending on the conditions, platforms can be attached to the seabed and consist of artificial islands or buoys. Elimination of subsea wells can also be connected to platforms via assembly lines and supply lines. This underwater solution can consist of one or more underwater wells or one or more centres for several wells. Offshore drilling presents hydrocarbons produced and materials used during the drilling process with ecological challenges. The common petroleum production platform is self-sufficiency for energy and water needs, for electricity generation in households, for water desalination and for all devices needed to process oil and gas so that it can be sent directly ashore via pipelines or to a floating platform or tank loading facility, or both.
