Oil Rig

The oil we need is drilled from two types of oil rigs. These rigs are land based oil rigs and ocean offshore oil rigs.

Even though the oil rigs can be different in positions on the surface of the earth they perform the same task. This is to locate a deposit of oil and drill for it. For this ground the oil rigs are constructed of solidness material which can stand up to severe storm weather.

As the oil deposits are generally found some distances away from civilization the various oil rigs need to be absolutely self-sufficient. To supply for this ground the rig will have an electric plant that generates the power needed for the work. The bigger offshore oil rigs will have a desalination plant to purify salt water so that it is converted to fresh water. A treatment plant can be found on the premises of oil rigs.

The handling plant will safely dispose of the versatile wastes that accumulate in the oil rigs.
