Offshore drilling is the process of extracting petroleum from reserves located beneath the Earth's oceans instead of reserves located on the mainland. Offshore oil rigs have developed greatly over the past years, and have become gigantic structures that house hundreds of people at a time.

    I wasn't even aware we actually use floating platforms. All these years I was picturing these massive kilometers long structures that must be built to connect to the ocean floor and hold these rigs... Now I feel stupid. But also smarter. Which feels weird.
  • @Rogueblue
    The sheer scale of these operations is mind boggling

    Anyone watching this after playing Still Wakes the Deep?
  • @K.H289
    This is insanely mind blowing, the amount of works it takes.
  • @Sunsetover411
    As a non technical person I used to wonder how rigs assembled and worked ….. you have explained marvellously in simple terms 👍
  • @gustavoadolfomelindres
    This channel is fantastic. It's like the 'How it's made' of Youtube. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves.
  • @wmitchell51
    I worked for over 40 yrs in manufacturing machining parts for the oil industry, great video!

    Humans are insanely creative. I have never imagined this type of construction. In order to create this people spent millions of years of knowledge and expreience.
  • @supadigga
    Very interesting! I have always wanted to understand exactly how oil rigs work. Thank you for this detailed info! 👍🏾
  • @riproar11
    I learned about oil rigs many years ago but the books never gave much information about how the oil makes it to shore. It's very interesting to learn about all of the established underwater pipelines!
  • @Romualdomgn84
    Thank you for explanation. I could have never imagined how complicated is underwater oil extraction and its transportation to the land.
  • @BarcaScout
    Great video mate, I was always interested how oil rigs works. Thank you again, great explanation.
  • @elsgarage4117
    Fantastic video, great work and thank you for the lesson.
  • @Alcor151
    the engineering and design that goes into these things is amazing
  • @brunocer9018
    What a video! So clear and easy to understand it. Well done!
  • @themurph925
    I really like the detail you get from technical animations such as this. A massive help to understanding how technology works.
  • @user975bg
    Really informative about a curious subject I knew nothing about. Thank you!👍🏻
