Offshore oil and gas exploration involves searching for oil and natural gas reserves beneath the ocean floor. This process typically uses specialized ships and drilling rigs to locate and extract these resources. Companies conduct surveys and geological studies to identify potential sites before drilling begins. Once a promising site is found, drilling operations commence, often using platforms like semi-submersibles or jack-up rigs. These platforms are designed to withstand harsh ocean conditions while safely extracting hydrocarbons. The extracted oil and gas are then transported to shore for processing and distribution.
