You have not really asked a question. I will state a few facts about offshore platforms and perhaps you can come back with a specific question.
An offshore platform has separators to remove water and gas from the produced oil. Each platform is uniquely designed because no two oil fields are the same in oil composition and fluid rates of oil, water and gas. Unlike a chemical plant, the fluid rates (or "feeds") of oil, water and gas can change greatly over the life of the field, and the design of the facility must take this into consideration.
Offshore production platforms may send the processed oil through pipelines which will go to onshore storage tanks and then be sent to refineries. The produced oil may be sent to tankers, which will deliver oil to the refineries.
Produced gas may be flared (burned) at the platform. Due to the heat of the gas, a flare tower, located some distance from the platform may be used for burning the gas. The flaring of gas is generally considered the least favorable alternative, due to environmental and energy conservation issues. Produced gas may be compressed and reinjected into the formation to maintain pressure. If an adequate market exists, it may be sent via pipeline to shore, and distributed to the local market. It may also be liquified as LNG and transported by tankers. This requires enormous investments.
Produced water may be re-injected into the producing formations to maintain pressure. If it is to be disposed of offshore, the water must be sufficiently clean as to not contaminate the ocean water.

Can offshore drilling help with global warming?
No, any production of gas and oil, whether offshore or onshore, increases the effects of global warming. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases responsible.
What is offshore oil potential?
I'm not sure if you are asking what "offshore oil potential" means or what the "offshore oil potential" actually is in economic projection. But I will answer it both ways. "Offshore oil potential" basically means the possible or projected quantity of crude oil located beneath the ocean floor that will be produced by a defined entity in a defined region. Offshore crude oil output accounts for almost one-third of the world's oil production. At this stage, offshore is the only growing segment of the oil industry. It is without doubt the new oil and gas frontier as onshore production has only decreased in the last 20 years. What the exact potential is, I wish I knew the answer..

What is dry tree unit?
A dry tree unit refers to a measurement used in the oil and gas industry, specifically in offshore drilling and production. It typically denotes the volume or capacity of a production system or storage facility that is designed to handle hydrocarbons in their liquid state, without any associated water or other impurities. The term helps in assessing the production efficiency and managing the logistics of oil and gas extraction and storage.
What is a production riser used in offshore platform?
A production riser is a critical component in offshore oil and gas platforms, serving as the vertical conduit that transports hydrocarbons from the seabed to the surface facilities. It connects the subsea production system to the platform, enabling the flow of oil, gas, and injection fluids while withstanding deep-water pressures and environmental conditions. Production risers are designed to handle various stresses and may include flexible, rigid, or hybrid types depending on the specific application and water depth. Their integrity is crucial for safety, efficiency, and environmental protection during energy extraction.
Offloading proving in oil and gas?
Offloading in the oil and gas industry refers to the transfer of hydrocarbons from production facilities, such as offshore platforms or storage vessels, to transport vessels like tankers or pipelines. This process is crucial for managing production cycles and ensuring the efficient movement of oil and gas to refineries or distribution points. Effective offloading operations require careful planning and execution to minimize environmental risks and ensure safety during handling. Technologies such as floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units are often utilized to streamline these operations in offshore settings.
What percent of the worlds oil comes from offshore?
Approximately 30% of the world's oil production comes from offshore sources. Offshore oil drilling involves extracting petroleum from beneath the seabed, and it plays a significant role in meeting global energy demands. The percentage can vary based on market conditions, technology, and geopolitical factors influencing oil production.
In which two oceans are large deposit of oil and natural gas?
Large deposits of oil and natural gas are found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. These oceans are known for their offshore oil and gas reserves, with countries such as the United States, Brazil, Nigeria, and India having significant production sites.
