A large offshore oil rig is a floating or fixed structure used for the extraction of oil and natural gas from beneath the seabed. These rigs are often situated in deep waters and can accommodate drilling operations, housing for crew, and equipment for processing extracted materials. They are designed to withstand harsh marine conditions and can be mobile or permanently anchored to the ocean floor. Offshore oil rigs play a crucial role in the energy industry, contributing significantly to global oil supply.
