Oil Platforms In The Gulf Of Mexico – Scream Baby Scream
Read Time:36 Second
An offshore platform, often referred to as an oil platform or an oil rig, is a lаrge structure used in offshore drilling to house workers and machinery needed to drill wells in the ocean bed, extract oil and/or natural gas, process the produced fluids, and ship or pipe them to shore. Depending on the circumstances, the platform may be fixed to the ocean floor, may consist of an artificial island, or may float.
Remote subsea wells may also be connected to a platform by flow lines and by umbilical connections; these subsea solutions may consist of single wells or of a manifold centre for multiple wells. 3858 oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.

I’m honestly shocked these yokels haven’t started extracting all the gold in seawater, and given the cost of such an operation, completing their destruction of the world economy and since they have all the gold, good times.
They would if they could do it economically. It has been thought of.
No wonder they can’t get tankers in there.
There’s coal in the ocean? Don’t let Massey energy know that.
It’s a coastline Jim…but not as we know it….
3,858 potential disasters thanks to lax regulations and cooperative administrations over the years.
It’s as bad as having the coal mining industry at sea.
