Watching this while buying some barrels at Dollar Tree right now
my guy you got ripped off. at these prices, they should be paying you to take the oil off their hands.
That’s where I buy my breakfast sausage, it has about the same amount of oil in it.
Where is Dollar Tree? Can we invest in oil from abroad ?
invest in my greasy sausage the oil is the same
@@MrSafer i read somewhere today the price per barrel was $-40. I have no idea how that makes sense but it was the first time in history a barrel was below $0
7:32 - "at the time of writing, in April, oil prices are hovering around $20 per barrel"
oh how things change between finishing a video and uploading it
Brent will have a good time in a couple of years if the wti stays low for a while
Some crude is selling at -$40 a barrel. They literally are paying people to take it away they have so much overproduced.
SatansBestBuddy lol
@Adam Hillier I hope all you guys know that these are all futures that are selling and not the actual oil it self.
-$37.63 on 4/20. Ouch.
Can someone explain to me why the term “Airplane” is not in the title?

Oof beautiful name
An Airport is in the video
Corona
A few kinds of airplanes aren't capable of extracting oil, so that's probably why.
This video should really be re-titled to something like "The profitability of offshore oil rigs" as I learned quite little about how offshore oilrigs actually function
You're new here, aren't you?
` lmao
Meanwhile the local ports in my area are known for dismantling them soo and then the big bucks start rolling in.
And yes i am in the UK
This. I came here to learn the intricate details of all the gubbins inside a modern oil platform, not get an economics lecture. Would not eat again.
Maybe "The economics of offshore oil rigs"
Love your work, Sam.
Wanted to mention that the newly opened "Johan Sverdrup" offshore rig in Norway operates with a balanceprice less than 20 dollars per barrel. That's with all expenses taken into consideration. Productcost is less than 2 dollars per barrel(!) This means they still make money even with the low prices we have right now 👍
Barrel of oil price: less than 0$
Wendover: Perfect timing for a video.

Basically free oil?
@@hahaaha7400 Not just free, oil companies are literally begging others with money to take their oil. Maximum supply and capacity, but minimal demand.
Pyra Darkstorm its not the oil company, its the people who but the oil future.

Good comment. When he discussed the price, he said "as of today, price is hovering around $20/barrel" roughly. I thought to myself how quickly things deteriorated in 24 hours.
TIM333Y so you made money by buying oil?
Only the futures price. They won’t pay you to take it away. It’s just they don’t have anywhere to store the volumes atm so no-one wants to buy it and the negative futures price is more to deter people from entering into futures contracts so they aren’t forced to buy the oil when they have nowhere to store it and no customers

I was a paramedic on a couple different oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the time I was the only medically trained person there. It was challenging, but interesting living and working on an offshore oil platform.
Hello.... i've got a friend working on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico... i know there are lots of rig over there, and i didn't know which rig he actually work... but, may I ask you, just in case you knew him or (luckily) work at the same rig with him ??

I'm currious; what was the main thing you did on them?
[Is a B-Paramedic enought to work there? It's not the exact same name in the US, but you'll know, what I mean.]
@@rhs5683I don’t know what a B-paramedic is. But to work off shore you have to have a solid background in EMS be real confident in your skills. I not only worked on off shore platforms but also on several different types of
ships often times (almost all the time I was the only medical person on board,) treating everything from simple aches and pains to serious injuries and other medial issues (chest pains, shortness of breath, etc..). To work on American platforms and he ships I was assigned to you had to have your NREMTP, ACLS, BLS, and PHTLS.

For those wondering what's up with the strange looking ship at 4:34 that is a bow design called the X-bow by a company called Ulstein. It is what's known as an inverted bow and it grants a number of significant advantages, the most interesting of which is exceptional stability and speed in rough seas. This is a consequence of a sophisticated curve to the front that allows the ship to penetrate through the wave rather than riding over it while distributing the force in such a way that minimizes resistance (and as a consequence minimizes the force being applied to the structure of the hull allowing for a lighter hull). Also it has the added bonus that it means that the boats longest point is at the water line (which improves efficiency as well) and it opens up a lot of interior space in the bow of the ship. These are a fairly recent innovation but expect for this design to become the new normal in time.
Edit: how offshore oil rigs “worked”
This video didnt have anything to do with how they "work". Should be renamed "The Economics of Offshore Oil Rigs". Wendover never has a proper title.
I also take youtube comment section seriously
@@bootleg0012 Nobody claimed she was.
Good video in general. However, the term “rig” and “platform” are not always interchangeable. Early on in the platform’s life, there is likely a drilling rig on it to establish the wells, but during the majority of the platform’s production life, it has no drilling rig on it. Its sole purpose is production, therefore a production platform. Source: third generation oil field & engineering degree in petroleum engineering
Brandon VanAllen first time I have learned something from the comments. Thank you.

Rarely are they together, unless it's a work over new well on an established platform, or a tiny platform. Most of the time our super gorilla class jack-up would be pulled out to a stump (wellhead marked in the ocean) good times for sure... but I'm glad to be out of it now!

That was futures. To buy a barrel of oil today would run you about $20 still.
Yeah that piece didn't age well.
Edit: It is worth noting that this collapse is due to a decreased demand, which in and of itself can be seen as a good thing since it means we are not producing as many greenhouse gases or other forms of waste.

I'm surprised that there was no mention of the Hibernia platform as an example of a crazy drilling platform. In the North Atlantic rigs often have to shut production and move the platform in order to let large icebergs pass (oil rig + iceberg = wrecked oil rig). Hibernia was designed to just let the bergs hit them and then grind the berg to bits. That's crazy.
Or the Pré-sal oil region of Brazil, places were we have to drill holes from 7km under the sea level.
Crude oil can be refined into jet fuel.
Therefore, Sam has released another aviation video. Yay!

The pipeline for north sea on the Ineos side comes in from the FPS (Forties), which lands at Cruden Bay, then they mix it with natural gas and then pumped down to Grangemouth which is the largest refinery in Scotland.
Most oil from the North Sea either lands at Grangemouth eventually via pipeline or via Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetlands nothing actually comes in via Aberdeen cept where the pipeline hits landfall!

This is a remarkably informative video. Thanks for producing it.
At 40 mph there is about a gallon of gasoline per second worth of energy flowing through a 100 meter radius area. Those big three bladed turbines capture abiut 2% of that as electricity since most of the wind goes between the widely spaced blades.
If they had a platform with big plsstic floats circling it in a 100 meter radius, it would collect about 50% of that gallon of gasoline. Combined with wave energy it might add up to one gallon. At 30 % efficiencyv, that many times better than tthe three bladed turbine system. My 23 foot sailboat used to get about 10,000 watts out of 15 mph winds with 25 square meters of sail area.
So if you had hundred meter high sails covering an area 300 meters wide circling the platform, that is 1200 times 10,000 or 12 million watts. At the velocity at which the big commercial wind turbines are rated or about 60 mph, that would be close to a billion watts. Times two for the wave energy is over a billion watts. For essentially a bunch of giant soda bottles or soda cans floating in the middle of the ocean like so many unrecycled discarded cans and bottles.
Now that Wendover Productions has made a video on offshore oil rigs, we can be sure to expect a global oil crisis soon. This guy predicts global disasters like a psychic.

Btw being a bit pedantic here but typical 'Rigs' usually refers to the units and machinery used to drill or work on the actual well and 'Platform' is usually referring to the production equipment that is a permanent emplacement (even if floating). 'Platforms' can have 'Rigs' on them combining the two but for the most part they are separate vessels.

Deep water horizon is one of my favorite movies of all times starring mark Wahlberg, I usually find industrial work places really depressing but for some reason I'm really fascinated by offshore oil rigs and find them really amazing and i wish i could try working in one of them, it strikes me as a whole different experience and vibe

Ronald Tartaglia guys should we tell him?
As a rust player, I see myself as an expert :D
Just FYI Deepwater Horizon was an exploration platform, not a production rig. Quite a few of article on her fail to mention this. She would be moved after drilling a few test wells and determining if a production well should be placed on the site. Production wells are much safer with at least tertiary level backups, but the exploration rigs are made to be light and easy to move. So they may only have a single backup on critical systems as these rigs are usually refurbished between test drillings. Deepwater had been pushed well past that and a double failure occured in the BOP. There were other issues, but the BOP had numerous electrical and mechanical issues due to exceeding the TBO.

This is about 60% correct. Many offshore drilling rigs are self propelled. They aren’t even attached to the sea floor, multiple azipods using dynamic positioning keep them in one place. Offshore production rigs are usually (shell and bp have some production ships) semi permanently installed but this is not true of drilling rigs. Whether they’re self propelled, towed or shipped out and put together most of them are moved pretty often. Like most any other subject explaining it fully in 15 minutes isn’t realistic as it’s always more complicated than that.
