Offshore Oil Rigs and Platforms

Federal waters in the United States extend 200 nautical miles (approximately 230 miles or 370 kilometers) from the coastline. This area is known as the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), where the federal government has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources. Beyond the EEZ, the waters are considered international waters, where no single nation has jurisdiction.

Not always. If you get transferred by boat to the rig it might not be a requirement. If you work on rigs where you get transferred by helicopter, you will have to be able to at least swim from a helicopter body from 3 to 4 meters below the water surface to the surface. This might be the only time you will ever need to be able to swim in the unlikely event of a helicopter ditching into the sea. Other times there will always be flotation devices ready.

There is a training course required for operations with helicopter transfers. It is called HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training). During this course you will be placed in a helicopter fuselage and dropped into the water. Once it is submerged and settled, only then can you undo the seat belts and escape via door or window (depending where you sit in the helicopter) to the surface. You are not allowed to inflate a flotation/life vest until you reach the surface.

Rigs a equipped with trash compactors. Trash is segregated and compacted. It is then loaded onto one of the supply boats and brought back to land for recycling, etc.

Oil rig operators run and manage an installation.

The acreage of land that the oil reservoir resides is owned (leased) by the Oil Company. The Oil Company will pay a Drilling Contractor to drill the reservoir. The Drilling Contractor will own the drilling rig and will be the Rig Operator. The Oil Company will also employ Service Companies to perform certain functions on the rig during drilling. With a drilled and completed well the Oil Company may develop the location and install a Platform (if offshore) to produce numerous wells. The Oil Company may operate the platform itself or employ an Operating Company to manage the platform and production. Again, Service Companies may be employed to carry out remedial work on the oil wells from the platform.

An underwater oil rig does not exist, but semi-submersible rigs do. The pay rates are the same as other types of offshore oil rigs.

It's a variety of virtual structures for controlling, in groups, the elements that constitute mathematical models, for ease and realism in animation.

Among the various structures available are joints (bones) which can be assembled in hierarchical structures, forming for example: shoulder --> elbow --> wrist --> knuckles; thus controlling the various vertices that compose the arm --> forearm --> palm --> phalanges respectively and through the appropriate "skinning" procedure.

This can be controlled in forward kinematic (FK) transmitting the changes from top to bottom of the list or in inverse kinematic (IK) calculating the rotation of the "bones" from a fixed position. For example, the rotation of the elbow would be calculated from the position of the hand going "inversely" to the elbow (if that's what you order your 3D program to do).

There are also lattices to perform deformations, usually applied for modeling too. Bezier lines for controlling rows of joints (bones) and empty objects to track movement to.

The company man on an offshore drilling rig has the responsibility to supervise the execution of the approved drilling program, including all revisions made by drilling engineers. He is the top representative of the oil company which has hired or contracted other companies to drill the well.

In the case of the BP oil spill, BP contracted Transocean for the rig and drilling of the well. BP contracted Halliburton to cement in the well. Each of these contractor companies keep the company man informed of what they are doing, and if they have problems, the company man must be informed and has final approval authority.

In BP's case, and generally in most drilling operations, there is a morning meeting between the rig and the land based office, where the days activities are discussed.

In BP's case, if the company man asks one of the contracting companies to do something not agreed upon or considered unsafe, the contracting company can refuse.

The company man has many administrative activities, including compliance to all legal and safety regulations. In this regard, he works very closely with the Offshore Installation Manager, who is the drilling contractor's top manager.

Finally, there are two company men onboard an offshore rig at all times, one for the day shift and one for the evening shift.

Oil rigs use a drill to penetrate the seabed and reach the oil reservoir beneath it. The oil is then pumped up the drill string to the surface where it can be collected and transported. Additionally, some oil rigs have pipelines that connect to oil storage facilities on land for further processing and distribution.

The number of people working on a drilling rig can vary depending on the type and size of the rig, but typically ranges from 50 to 100 personnel. This includes roles such as drillers, rig hands, engineers, and safety personnel, among others. Offshore rigs may have more specialized staff due to the complex operations and safety requirements. Additionally, the staffing levels may fluctuate based on the phase of drilling operations.

Usual cause of failure in diamond core bit drilling is not following the guidelines specially indicated for the tool. It usually used the tool exceed to the preferred used of the tools so the result is breaking the material of the tool itself.

An offshore oil rig typically consists of several key parts, including the drilling platform, which houses the drilling equipment; the derrick, which supports the drilling apparatus; and the drilling mud system, used to remove cuttings and stabilize the borehole. Additionally, there are living quarters for crew accommodations, a helideck for transportation, and storage facilities for equipment and supplies. Support systems such as the power generation and safety equipment are also crucial for the rig's operation.

Oil rigs drill into the ground to find oil. They then pump the oil out of the ground to ready it for delivery to places that will refine it. They can be on land or in the ocean.
