What is an offshore platform and how is it different an onshore drilling rig?
An offshore platform is a structure that is installed over as group of wells that was drilled by an offshore drilling rig. The function of the platform is to produce the oil from these wells. A platform can be mounted to the seabed or could be a floating type platform. Offshore drilling rigs are for drilling the wells and are mobile and moved from area to area. Onshore drilling rigs are mobile units too and are moved from pad to pad for drilling and exploration. After a well is drilled onshore, a wellhead is installed on the well. There is no need for a platform as this only economically viable in offshore applications. There have been cases where an offshore well was drilled from land into the sea, but operated from land. This can only be possible if the oil formation is not too far offshore.

How does oil get from the rig to a ship?
There are a few ways. Rigs or oil platforms are linked together by pipelines. From there it could run all the way to shore to a facility and back to a station where it gets pumped into an oil tanker ship. From the platforms the pipelines could also run to a man-made island station or FPSO (A floating production, storage and offloading vessel) where it could be pumped into oil tanker ships.

Where are most oil rigs located?
In the United States, the oil rigs that operate offshore are typically too far away to see. There are many work over or drilling rigs in the Texas, Oklahoma and California but they may only be active in one place for a short time. I have flown over the Gulf Coast, and seen from the air what appears to be oil rigs, but they may have been producing platforms. It is far easier to see the pumping units, (pumpjacks) as they are very common in Bakersfield, California.
