Offshore Oil Rigs and Platforms

It is actually a hole in the ground, not a part of the rig.

because the nation wide has a clear majority of norwegains against oil drilling

Workers on oil rigs typically operate on a rotational schedule, often working 12-hour shifts for periods ranging from two to four weeks, followed by equal time off. This means they can be away from home for extended periods, sometimes up to a month or more, depending on the rig's location and company policies. The demanding nature of the job requires adaptability and resilience, given the challenging working conditions.

In the UAE, Dubai, Sharjah The Emirates, the upper age limit is 45!

Saudi Arabia is restricting newhires to a age of 55?

Algeria age limit in the oilfield is 60?

i think its used to attract whales, so that they can hunt them.

Steel mixed with the element Manganese to give a very hard, strong steel alloy.

Most likely used for machinery.

It is believed that the Hibernia is the world's largest rig or offshore platform. It is located on the Jeanne D'Arc basin in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

Oil platforms are built through a multi-step process that begins with design and engineering, ensuring they can withstand harsh marine environments. Construction typically takes place in specialized shipyards, where sections of the platform, such as the hull and living quarters, are fabricated and assembled. Once completed, the platform is towed or floated to its designated location and anchored to the seabed. Finally, it undergoes installation of drilling equipment and safety systems before becoming operational.

Mostly steel

Floating production storage and offloading ships on pipelines

Oil rigs are used to drill wells in the earth to extract crude oil and natural gas.

Oakley oil rigs are oil rigs and Oakley sunglasses are sunglasses.

Los desechos aceitosos son una mezcla homogénea de petróleo, agua y sólidos, los cuales forman una emulsión altamente estable, que no es fácil de romper mediante métodos convencionales. La alta estabilidad de la emulsión se debe principalmente a que los sólidos presentes, son en su mayoría ultra-finos. Adicionalmente este tipo de desechos contienen una gran cantidad de sustancias químicas, las cuales actúan también como fuertes agentes emulsificantes. Debido a la estabilidad de la emulsión, se requiere de varios procesos, que permitan romper dicha emulsión y obtener las tres fases por separado; entre los cuales tenemos: Tratamiento térmico, Tratamiento químico y Centrifugación.

Oil deposits were found beneath the ocean, too far from the shore to drill from the land. Eventually someone had the bright idea to go and produce these rigs that drill at sea and the first oil rig was born.

So, oil rigs were invented to pump the oil located beneath the sea bed far from shore.

Pipe welders on oil rigs typically earn between $25 to $50 per hour, depending on factors such as experience, location, and the specific rig's requirements. In some cases, highly skilled welders or those working in remote or high-demand areas can make even more, with total compensation often enhanced by overtime pay and benefits. Additionally, wages may vary based on the type of welding required and the complexity of the job. Overall, the pay can be quite lucrative compared to other welding positions.

The 'Rig' is the syringe itself. You may also use a new 'fit' (another term for the needle/syringe), and a cooker (usually a spoon), and water (this can come packaged from a needle exchange site).

Term "production" means outflow from well.

Master valve and wing valve are both on X-mas trees installed above wellhead. Fluid comes to the surface will pass Master (main isolation) valve first, then to the wing valve. Afterwards, go to the choke valves for pressure control before directing to downstream process.
