Offshore Oil Rigs and Platforms
Offshore oil rigs and platforms are enormous structures set up in the middle of oceans and lakes to drill beneath the earth's surface for crude oil. Ask questions about rigs and platforms — some of the largest movable man-made structures in the world — in this category.

How is oil transported from offshore platforms?
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.
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.
Are Oakley Oil Rigs good sunglasses?
Oakley oil rigs are oil rigs and Oakley sunglasses are sunglasses.
How much do pipe welders make on a oil rig hourly?
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.
What does a rig for heroin injection consist of?
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).
The Offshore Oil Rig is a large platform constructed and anchored in the ocean waters designed to drill into the ocean bottom and extract fossil fuels like gas and oil. It contains a drilling tower, cranes for laying pipes, a helicopter landing platform, emergency evacuation lifeboats or other safety devices, several story buildings containing everything from crew quarters, kitchen, recreation, maintenance, storage. It can be a hazardous place to work and often the crew must live there for long periods of time. The oil that is pulled up must then be either piped ashore or offloaded onto large oil tanker ships for eventual storage and refining.
An oil rig can be a platform out at sea where oil is brought up from deep under the ground to the rig.
Alternatively OIL RIG can be a handy way to remember the effects of oxidation and reduction.
i.e Oxidation Is Loss. OIL
Reduction Is Gain RIG
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.
What are the provisions of the Bill passed by Congress that lifts the ban off offshore drilling?
Find out the bill #, then look it up via the ultra-handy, but ultra-not-user-friendly Congressional Record Site: http://thomas.loc.gov/
You have to put a "HB" in front of the bill# for House Bills
and a "SB" in front of the number for Senate Bills
If it has passed both houses, then I don't know exactly what to look for; it should be a reconciled bill that Bush will sign. Hopefully it has not, b/c that oil definitely won't benefit us over the long run but will screw up our oceans!
The tool pusher is the person responsible for all operations on a land drilling rig. A tool pusher is a person who is responsible for all the operations on land drilling, for more info try www.wikipedia.org and search 'tool pusher'
What is the minimum age for cadets attending an offshore course?
16 if u want to go inboard a vessle underway
What does it cost to build an offshore oil rig?
Depending on the type and specification of the rig it could range from $190 -400 million. Jack-ups usually costs between $200-$250 to build, while the more advanced semi-submersible rigs and others built to drill in harsh environments could range from $300-$450 million.
It depends if you want a new or old one. A new one would cost up to $100 to $400 million. A old one would cost up to $1.5 to $10 million.
How dangerous is it to work on a oil rig?
We work as a team. Every one has a job and we relies on the other person to do what is right. We hold safety meetings. We all have a Safe Work Practice Program in place. We all train to get off the platform if we lose control. We have Fire Fighters and Rescue Trained personal on board all the time. We have Coast Guard or a way to get you in if you get hurt. There are so many fail safe safety devices in place to protect the environment and personal. We spend 8 months out of the year together on a platform that morn time than with our wives's. Wouldn't want to work anywhere else. You are in more danger getting to work than on a platform. People on a every day to day life don't have safety in mind 24 hrs a a day.
What does Offshore drilling mean?
Off-shore drilling is the search for and collection of oil lying in the ground under the relatively shallow waters of the continental shelf.
What is the pay for a welder with own rig truck?
A welder with his own rig truck can earn upward of 20 dollars per hour. A welder without his or her own rig will make significantly less.
How much oil comes from off shore oil platforms?
According to an internet search, about 30% of the world's crude oil production comes from offshore rigs.
Why is there fire on top of oil rigs?
Fire on top of oil rigs occurs to burn off the natural gas if it is not economically feasible to capture it.
