![]() ![]() Perdido has a maximum capacity of 100,000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic feet of gas per day. This oil rig was vertically moored in place at a depth of approximately 2,450 meters (8,000 feet). Perdido is a spar type of floating platform which uses a large-diameter, single vertical cylinder that is weighted at the bottom by a cell filled with material that is much denser than water to lower the center of gravity of the platform and offer stability. The Perdido oil platform is the world's second deepest oil and gas production hub and began commercial production in 2010 from a new geological territory in the US Gulf of Mexico. Mexico's 'lost' oil platform or the Perdido Source: Shell For such a gigantic structure to be kept in place just by gravity, the Berkut platform is truly an engineering marvel of the sea.īerkut platform is shared between Rosneft, Exxon Mobil, SODECO, and ONGC Videsh Ltd. As the name suggests, the Berkut structure is held firmly in place by gravity. The Berkut oil platform is capable of drilling 45 wells and produces 12,000 tons of oil per day and 4.5 million tons annually.īerkut's concrete base consists of large tanks where oil can be stored which can also control the buoyancy of the whole structure. Ice linings have also been installed to give additional protection against ice formations. The massive gravity base structure is also the first in the world to adapt an earthquake protection system that can withstand seismic excitations of magnitude 9 without violating operational protocols. Being subjected to harsh sub-Arctic environmental conditions, the Berkut platform can resist temperatures as low as negative 28 degrees Celsius and ice field surround it by almost two meters during the winter season.īerkut's overall weight exceeds 200,000 ton and is considered to be the heaviest integrated topside that ever floated. ![]() Known as the biggest drilling oil platform in the world, the Berkut platform is a gigantic ice-resistant structure in the Okhotsk Sea in Russia.īerkut oil rig is part of the Sakhalin-1 development in the Arkutun-Dagi reservoir. Source: Norske Shell Sakhalin-1's Berkut oil platform However, the base of the structure is immense just like how an iceberg is small at the tip and humongous under water. The slender concrete shaft makes the platform look unsteady against big waves. ![]() This immense sea structure is designed with a single concrete shaft, integrated topside decks, and a concrete base facility where tanks are located for storing stabilized oil.Ħ3,000 barrels of oil per day is produced by the Draugen oil platform with a maximum capacity of 140,000 barrels per day. The platform is operated by AS Norske Shell which is the company's northernmost platform in the world and stretches 250 meters below the sea. Norway's Draugen oil platformįirst up on the list of impressive giants of the seas is the Norwegian oil rig known as the Draugen platform - located 150km north of Kristiansund. Immerse yourself in the upstream world of oil and gas production and discover some of the biggest and most impressive oil platforms around the world. ![]()
