Offshore drilling rigs are large structures used to extract oil and natural gas from beneath the ocean floor. These rigs are equipped with specialized equipment to drill deep into the seabed, where valuable resources are located. They can be anchored to the ocean floor or float on the surface, depending on the water depth and environmental conditions. The process of offshore drilling involves several steps, including exploration, drilling, and extraction. Companies like BP and ExxonMobil invest heavily in these operations to meet global energy demands. While offshore drilling can provide significant resources, it also raises concerns about environmental impacts and safety risks, especially in the event of spills or accidents.
