    The Offshore Industry

    Uploaded by

    Chan Sek Yeong
    The document provides an overview of the history and development of the offshore oil industry. It begins with the first offshore oil platform installed in 1947 off the coast of Louisiana. It then discusses the five basic types of offshore oil rigs: fixed platforms, submersibles, semisubmersibles, jackups, and drillships. Important early milestones are highlighted, such as the world's first submersible drilling rig, semisubmersible, mobile jackup, drillship, and floating production system. The document concludes by noting that while the offshore industry is middle-aged, it is still learning and developing new technologies to produce oil in ever deeper waters.

    • Mobile Offshore Drilling Units
    - Drilling Tenders
    - Jackups
    - Submersibles
    - Semisubmersibles
    - Drillships
    Production
    • Fixed Platforms

    - Concrete gravity-based structures
    • Floating Production Systems
    - Semisubmersibles
    - Tension-leg Platforms
    - Spar Platforms
    - Ship-Shaped FPSO’s
    . . .then you know more than
    most of the news reporters in
    the world.
    • Since 1947, the offshore industry
    has moved from the first platform
    out of sight of land to safely
    producing in 7,000 feet (2,100
    meters) of water and safely drilling
    in 10,000 feet (3,050 meters) of water.

    • The industry is still learning, and there


    is more to come…
