Offshore platforms are large structures built in oceans or seas to extract oil and natural gas from beneath the seabed. These platforms can be fixed to the ocean floor or floating, depending on the water depth and environmental conditions. They play a crucial role in the energy industry, helping to meet global energy demands.
Workers on these platforms live and work for weeks at a time, often in challenging conditions. Safety is a top priority, as they deal with heavy machinery and the risks associated with drilling. Advances in technology, such as subsea robotics and remote monitoring, have improved efficiency and safety in offshore operations.
