Homonym: rigs (Scams)
Rigs are large structures used for drilling and extracting oil and natural gas from beneath the Earth's surface. They can be found on land or offshore in oceans and seas. Offshore rigs are often floating platforms that can withstand harsh weather conditions, while land rigs are typically mounted on trucks or trailers for mobility.
There are different types of rigs, including jack-up rigs, semi-submersible rigs, and drillships. Each type is designed for specific environments and drilling depths. Rigs are equipped with various tools and machinery to drill wells, monitor conditions, and transport extracted resources for processing.
