How Offshore Oilrigs Work, Float, and Extract Oil
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лип 2022
- Offshore drilling is the process of extracting petroleum from reserves located beneath the Earth's oceans instead of reserves located on the mainland. Offshore oil rigs have developed greatly over the past years, and have become gigantic structures that house hundreds of people at a time.

The sheer scale of these operations is mind boggling
Did you know this guys rival the size of the largest buildings and some are bigger than burj khalifa?
Yup, I invented all these techniques and equipment, you're welcome.
And it's not for the faint hearted
Shows you how rich the owners are smh.
God gave man His brains lol.
I wasn't even aware we actually use floating platforms.
All these years I was picturing these massive kilometers long structures that must be built to connect to the ocean floor and hold these rigs...
Now I feel stupid. But also smarter. Which feels weird.
I was thinking the same tbh..
Oh, deep water drilling is done in way too deep waters for that. Some deep water drilling is so deep that the rigs aren't even anchored to the bottom. They use dynamic positioning (thrusters on the hull) to maintain their position over the wellhead.
I am Cuban, 57 years old, I live in USA since 1986, spent 23 years in the shipbuilding and oil industry, 7 them working in several oil facilities owned by BP at the north sea, I was member a maintenance crew of 17 guys, welders, fitters, pipe fitters, crane operator, electricians and helpers, I was a lead welder, many times we spent up to 60 days working on those oil platforms, north sea is a hell of cold environment, then back on dry land mostly here in North Dakota I was involved in the work of lying down oil pipelines and also here was where I had the ugliest drama bullshit with bitches in my entire life, the fucking rig pig queens.
@@mglenadel you just blew my mind. I'm a driller (rock drilling, not oil) and to keep a rig this massive over top of a hole that small in such treacherous waters is wild.
its ok if you are low iq, just be better next time
Every employee at BP watches this video before being fully certified. Congratulations, you are now qualified to work for BP.
BP is trash company congratulations.
Well, they will eventually need people to work for the divisions in the north and south poles, so... Let it be 😅😂
Never in my wildest dream thought I would work for BP.😂 Oh well where's my life jacket mate
do you got your HUET? no ? your not yet ready
Not so fast brotha‼️😎
This is insanely mind blowing, the amount of works it takes.
One thing they don’t show is my side of the job. I work on a supply boat for oil rigs. We bring personnel and materials/equipment out to the rigs, and there are thousands of us boat across the world. If not for us the rigs wouldn’t be able to operate. We bring everything from people to fresh water, food to cement. It’s an entirely different side of the job.
Your welcome
@@shotty2164what did you study in order to do that job? and what is your job called? it sounds cool!
Considering it takes approximately it takes 5-7 years to design, plan build, transport, install, hook up lines, install flowlined, drilling wells etc. And nothing less than 5 billion money investment before the first drop of sales money return many years later.
Ingenious how humans discovered and engineered this phenomenon
As a non technical person I used to wonder how rigs assembled and worked ….. you have explained marvellously in simple terms 👍
Whoever imagined such a structure with such sheer scale of engineering and whoever built it deserve more praise and recognition than physicists get!
The engineering behind this is insane.
I worked for over 40 yrs in manufacturing machining parts for the oil industry, great video!
Wow thats long time! I'm just interestet in working also on a platform here in Holland. Im thinking to do this job! 👍
@@arbenpeci6244 Great job and good money, but wear good hearing protection everyday.
Oil is our demise
You contributed to the plastic influx, and now our children are born with microplastics in their bloodstream, and tissue
Yayyyy. It's not like even the most remote locations on Earth are contaminated with plastics, and PFAs or anything. Definitely not raining down into our crop, and water supply. Definitely we're all not ingesting a credit cards worth of plastic weekly; and definitely none of this is contributing to the cancer and heart disease epidemic, the 2 leading causes of death in the world
Humans are insanely creative. I have never imagined this type of construction. In order to create this people spent millions of years of knowledge and expreience.
This channel is fantastic. It's like the 'How it's made' of UA-cam. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves.
thank you for supporting!
How it's made was 1 hour long
@@wowplayer160 that's why I said it is "like"
Not going to lie i love watching how's it made
@@3DLivingStudio do you have a channel on Rumble?
the engineering and design that goes into these things is amazing
I learned about oil rigs many years ago but the books never gave much information about how the oil makes it to shore. It's very interesting to learn about all of the established underwater pipelines!
Very interesting! I have always wanted to understand exactly how oil rigs work. Thank you for this detailed info! 👍🏾
I really like the detail you get from technical animations such as this. A massive help to understanding how technology works.
I'm not so sure about that. If the steel pantoons are completely flooded, that huge steel structure would sink. In the animations, there is nothing with a lower density that water beneath the waterline. It can't work like that. That's a misleading graphic.
@gehtdianschasau8372 fair enough, I understand that some technical details may be left out, but it is a very useful tool for understanding basics.
Subsea infrastructure in itself is mindblowing, but being able to drill, then send a pump down into that hole while there are crashing waves is crazy
Great video mate, I was always interested how oil rigs works. Thank you again, great explanation.
ua-cam.com/video/9NQ8LehUWSE/v-deo.html additional info
Lol i clicked on this video cuz i wanted to find out what rigs look like underwater so i could build one in minecraft and i ended up watching the whole video
Thank you for explanation. I could have never imagined how complicated is underwater oil extraction and its transportation to the land.
Visually pleasing and clearly narrated explanations - perfect combination! Thank you so much for creating and sharing!!
Really informative about a curious subject I knew nothing about. Thank you!👍🏻
WOW! That was quite interesting.
I've often wondered how that works, but never bothered to find-out.
This was EXCELLENT.
It gave me just enough information to now know a little something about it (actually, A LOT).
Thank you
Finally a clear video on how this is done. Thank you!
Fantastic video, great work and thank you for the lesson.
I love how simple and clear the explanations are! well done👍🏾 and by the way, these show how important oil/ gas as irreplacable natural resources, but remember that one day fresh water will be the ‘oil’ 😉
This channel is criminally under-subscribed. Outstanding work, my man.
Marvelous video, I watched it just for the presentation about oil I need to do for tomorrow, but I got to know so much more interesting information. I was always fascinated by huge engineering projects and oil platforms are one of my favourite things to look at.
What a video! So clear and easy to understand it. Well done!
Thanks for sharing this animation about offshore rig. your efforts are countless. keep it up to sharing this amazing information among the people around the world. we are oilfield lover and we are one community. Again thanks for sharing.
Omg where has this channels been the whole time?! This is super interesting and amazingly well done. Congrats!!
Nicely done. Simple, straightforward explanations for the non engineering types 😊.
Fantastic video! Clear concise and right to the point and very educational, thank you!
This was an awesome video, I’ve recently started work on a oil refinery plant and the scale of operations blew my mind my father has worked on rigs and plants all his life and always told me stories I find it fascinating, I love watching the explanation videos like these they are great! Your content is also awesome and I’ll be watching most😂great stuff!
wow,Then you are amazing, do you work hard, I would like to make friends with you to learn about this kind of work？
Thanks for this man, we all know oil rigs is big and cool enough but not many know how it actually works
This is the best explanation video I have found in 30 min of looking, clear and to the point, great !
here you will see more information >> ua-cam.com/video/9NQ8LehUWSE/v-deo.html
Thank you for explaining this process so well. I was curious and watched several videos that didn’t explained anything but yours is excellent!
Holy shit. Never knew anything about the whole Offshore Oilrig operation stuff.
I understood everything 100%! 10 outta 10!
Thank you for producing this video. It was one of the most informative 5 min video on the subject
Thank you for explaining how Oilrigs work, i never figured out how they extracted the oil from underwater
Mindblown by how good this video is. Literally made me say “that’s so cool” out loud lmao
This was very interesting and perfectly animated and answered all my questions. Thank you for making it and posting it.
Fantastic video, great work and thank you for the lesson.. Nicely done. Simple, straightforward explanations for the non engineering types ..
very clean and understandable easy explanation on how it works! kudos great job and animation!
this is really amazing to demonstrate the how a offshore platform works, realy fantastic
Exactly what I wanted to find out, nice video! Thank you!
I have just come across your channel. Thank you for a very informative video. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
AN OUTSTANDING JOB. Well presented and covered all the bases. Thank you.
Finally found the answer to my question while smoking this joint, thank you 🙏🏽
Me right now 😂
I always wanted to know how oilrigs work, thanks man!
What blowed my mind wasnt that the oil rig was floating, but the whole network of subsea pipelines, you showed. I can't imagine how it is in the rest of the world
Thank you for this fantastic video. I always wondered how oil rigs are built. The video gave great info and was presented in a very interesting fashion.
New subscriber here!😊👍🏽
It would be great to see a part 2 to this where you go into the level of detail you did on BOP but with the process plant on the Rig too.
Thanks bro for the video. It really helped me understanding oil rigs 🤙🤙
Thank you because I had no idea how oil rigs worked and how they stayed stable, etc.
Thanks for explaining this to me, now I can go explain this to everyone and look smart.
one of the most impressive pieces of engineering to date especially because of the scale. fascinating
Thank u very much, I now find my self on a semi-sub. Good info, no way I would have known this if I didn't watch this video
I know nothing about this and this video was amazing as well as easy to follow. Great work and explanation 💯
Enjoyed this and glad i discovered this channel
Thanks Bro. It is an amazing illustration for oil&gas drilling rigs
Thank you for this informative simulation. 😘
So much works to be done, mind boggling 👍
Very informative… I’ve always been interested in how these oil rigs are set up…
I have always thought about how these were made in sea. Amazing.
Wow that's eye opening. Thaks for sharing.
Incredible video. Thank you !
I’m amazed, and it’s mind-blowing! Well presented and all! Thank you!
This reminds me of countering oil rig on rust
even after watching the video, I did not fully understand this. Some incredibly smart people design these things.
I got curious today. And this video left me satiated
I love this video thank you for sharing I live in LB CA I see y’all all the time 🙏🤘🏼✌🏼
This was awesome!!!
This was super cool to watch
Thank you for the visuals, amazing work! You should sell learning dvds or something to schools.
This explanation is truly exceptional.
Thank you for actually explaining this
Mind boggling technology that .. Thank u so much ..
Couldn’t have asked for a better explanation with animation ..
Lots of effort in preparing this video .. Highly appreciated 👏👏
It blows my mind how a rig sitting so high can drill in such a specific spot. Id imagine the shear forces on the drill/casing would be insanely high
Excellent demonstration. Great work Keep it up 👍🏻
Its actually amazing we dont have more oil spill disasters.
Nitpicking here: the pipe rams don't control the pressure. They simply cut the flow by crushing the pipe. Their effect is very permanent. Annulars can seal up the well and then unseal it later. The blind shear ram is there to allow the rig to move away from a bad situation. The drill string connects the rig to the well, and if there is need to move the rig away for any reason (a sudden hurricane changes direction and threatens the rig, or war breaks out and the rig is about to be invaded or attacked, or if the rig can't help but move away-if the dynamic positioning system fails, for example, the rig will start to drift off position and the drill string may break-leading to a spill-or the rig may sink as a consequence), the blind shear will sever that connection and the rig will be free. The Shear rams will only be operated after the rams seal the pipe below them, so as to avoid a bad spill.
The order that they are used is: Annular-to close the flow/control pressure; Rams-to permanently close the flow if the annulars aren't enough; Shear Rams-to cut the pipe altogether if the whole thing goes tits up.
Thank you so much for this Video.I didn't know how oil rig works😮
Super insightful......I had knowledge gap on how these rigs are built n work, thanks abunch 🙏
Wonderful presentation ❤
Excellent work!! Thanks!
