Most oil rig platforms today do not float. The platform is usually positioned atop several pillars that extend to the bottom of the sea bed on which they are located. Newer technology however, has developed barges that contain oil drilling equipment. These newer barges do float but must rely on precise electronics to keep them positioned within a couple of feet about the drill site on the sea bed.
