Natural Gas Platform
A Natural Gas Platform is a structure used for the extraction and processing of natural gas from beneath the Earth's surface. These platforms are typically located offshore and can be fixed to the seabed or floating. They house equipment for drilling, production, and sometimes storage of natural gas, which is a vital energy source used for heating, electricity generation, and as a fuel for vehicles.
Natural gas is primarily composed of methane and is considered a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels like coal and oil. The extraction process involves drilling wells into gas reservoirs, and the gas is then transported through pipelines to processing facilities. This infrastructure is crucial for meeting global energy demands and supporting industries.
