Natural gas platforms are structures used to extract natural gas from beneath the ocean floor. These platforms are typically located in offshore areas where natural gas reserves are found. They can be fixed to the seabed or floating, depending on the water depth and environmental conditions. Once the natural gas is extracted, it is processed and transported through pipelines to reach consumers. The platforms are equipped with various technologies to ensure safe extraction and minimize environmental impact. They play a crucial role in the global energy supply, providing a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels like coal and oil.
