Offshore Oil Rigs and Platforms

The woman might be drilling a hole to create a space for a fastener or anchor, such as a screw or a bolt, which will help secure two objects together. Once she finishes drilling, she will likely insert a screw, which is a type of simple machine known as an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. This design allows for easier application of force to hold materials together.

"An offshore merchant account is an account that allows the owner to accept credit card payments through a bank not located in the merchant's country. Generally, a merchant would start and offshore account to reduce their tax liability."

Exxon Mobile - Oil rigs in deep sea.

well, if you have a mac computer rigs of rods will already work terrible, it will glitch your files and mess up your computer. Your issue is you have an outdated version of rigs of rods, so the file pack was not made for the version you currently have

When oil rigs are constructed, they are coated with rust inhibitors before they are painted. The structure is constantly monitored for rust and is re-coated where necessary.

The catwalk is used to roll drill pipe, casing and tools from the ground level of the rig to the rig floor which can be from 5' to 30' or more depending on the type of rig. Once on the catwalk pipe or tools are pulled up the V-Door which connects the catwalk to the rig floor.

"Derrick" comes from 'Thomas Derrick', a hangman who invented a type of gallows using a movable beam and pulley system during the Elizabethan era. During his lifetime, Derrick executed over 3,000 people, many of them with his modified gallows device, and the supporting framework for his gallows came to be known as a derrick. The term was adopted to describe cranes and other lifting devices which used a similar support mechanism.

Deepest vertical well = 35,050ftTVD and 35,055ftMD, operating in 4,130 feet of water.

Longest extended reach well = 40,320ftMD with a 35,770ft horizontal section.

Deepest working water depth = 10,011ft.

An uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons ignited on the drill floor. Primary well control was provided by the completion fluid, but this was being changed out during normal testing operations. Primary well control was then the cement job on the liner which was woefully inadequate in design (BP US) and execution (Halliburton). With no primary well control, then the rig relied on secondary well control, the blowout preventer (Transocean). This also failed. Due to the explosion, damage and loss of the Deepwater Horizon there was no way to recover control. Therefore, tertiary well control was implemented; drilling a relief well into the toe of the uncontrolled well and killing it from the bottom.

He got a Community service order after pleading guilty to charges after a fight. He left the Army and was training to work on offshore oil rigs. He deserves the Victoria Cross.

So you will know what to do when there's a fire and save your life instead of panicking and running around on fire

The drilling rig was not given a name but is simply referred to as "the Spindle top drilling rig".

Owning an oil rig typically involves significant financial investment and navigating complex regulatory frameworks. You can acquire an existing rig through purchase or leasing agreements with oil companies, or invest in companies that operate oil rigs. Additionally, you may need to secure permits and licenses from government authorities, as drilling operations are heavily regulated. Partnering with experienced industry professionals can also help manage the operational and technical aspects of ownership.

Well depending on materials at hand. mix up a slug in a shotgun barrel or sweep on slug pit

Or flocculant.......and something. grainy such as Pecan shell. or mica. this along with a high rotation rate off bottom or simply reciprocate the string can be helpful

A doctor is available on an oil rig. He will treat you for anything from a light headache to a severe injury for which there is helicopter evacuation.

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.
