What is the drilling platform in the sea that is two words?
Oil rig oil Derick
What is off shore drilling?
In search of Fossil fuels, humans take to the sea. They build a platform in the sea, a mobile island if you will, and from there, they start drilling down in the sea floor, until they reach the oil bubble. This oil bubble gets emptied and the humans leave with their oil and their island.
Is an oil rig and oil derrick the same?
Yes and No The "derrick" is the drilling tower which is part of the complete oil platform (which could be moored at sea and have crew quarters etc) which is the "oil rig"
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.
When did the deep sea drilling project take place?
in 1968
How long did the deep sea drilling project last?
15 years
To drill oil do you have to cut down trees?
Some oil drilling is done on rigs at sea, where there are no trees. Some oil drilling is done in countries that are primarily deserts.
What has the author Patricia Paluso written?
Patricia Paluso has written: 'A guide to publications and subsequent investigations of Deep Sea Drilling Project materials' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Deep Sea Drilling Project, Marine sediments, Paleontology
Why have oil rig been built in the middle of the sea?
They are built on land and towed to sea to the drilling site where the oil or gas is.
What is deep sea drilling?
Deep sea drilling is when us stupid and selfish humans kill animals and life in the ocean. We have no respect for anything but ourselves. and all we care about is that we can have more oil for our cars that will raise our carbon footprint, which will also ruin the environment. In the long run, this whole chain of things we do about this is just going to cause major chaos in future generations.
What were the goals of the deep sea drilling project?
To investigate the evolution of ocean basins by core drilling of ocean sediments and underlying oceanic crust.
What is a reason for deep sea oil?
to get oil
