We are going to review the most common types of oil platforms and some of the most fascinating cases of these gigantic constructions for oil and gas production. Semi-submersible These platforms are suitable for a depth between 150 and 600m. There have excellent stability in the sea and hold position well. They are used both to explore and to produce. The largest semi-submersible platform in the world is Thunder Horse, located on the Gulf of Mexico. It is able to extract 250,000 barrels of raw oil per day. Thunder Horse is also proof of this kind of platform’s robustness, since it managed to survive storms like Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina. Gravity platforms These are fixed production platforms held up by the seabed. They also provide for storage. They can operate in adverse seas, so they are ideal in areas like the North Sea. There are only ten units in the entire world. One of them is Berkut, in the Russian Pacific, the largest platform in the world.
