A fixed platform is a type of offshore platform used for the extraction of petroleum or gas. These platforms are built on concrete and/or steel legs directly planted onto the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and crew quarters. [1] .

2018年12月17日 · Fixed platforms are shallow-water rigs that can be physically attached to the sea floor. They stand on legs of steel or concrete that are piled into the sea floor, or rely on their own weight to remain fixed in place.

2025年1月28日 · There are three types of fixed-platform rigs: These rigs are not self-erecting, not particularly modular in construction, are heavy, and are built to API well spacing standards, so they can work on a wide range of platforms. They usually require a derrick barge or a large platform crane to load and erect.

In certain instances, in shallow water, it is possible to physically attach a platform to the sea floor. This is what is shown above as a fixed platform rig. The 'legs' are constructed of...

2016年10月28日 · The different types of oil rigs include fixed platforms and mobile drilling units for shallow or deep water, each with its own risks and benefits.

2024年6月7日 · Fixed platforms, being permanently attached to the seabed, can disrupt the natural flow of water and hinder the movement of marine species. On the other hand, FPSOs, being floating structures, have a smaller footprint and can be relocated, reducing the long-term impact on a specific area.

2023年9月1日 · These massive structures, or platform rigs (Largest Oil Rigs), are crucial in extracting valuable resources beneath the ocean floor. But what exactly is a platform rig, and how does it work? Many designs of fixed platforms have been used in different areas throughout the world and developments in platform design are continually taking place.

A Fixed Platform (FP) consists of a jacket (a tall vertical section made of tubular steel members supported by piles driven into the seabed) with a deck placed on top, providing space for crew quarters, a drilling rig, and production facilities. The fixed platform is economically feasible for installation in water depths up to 1,500 feet (455 ...

2024年1月22日 · Two primary types of offshore installations, Fixed Offshore Platforms and Mobile Offshore Rigs, serve as essential components in the offshore energy industry. In this definitive guide, we will explore the characteristics, applications, and design considerations of both fixed platforms and mobile rigs, providing insights into their respective ...

This study examines the fundamentals of all types of offshore structures (fixed and floating), as well as the applications of these concepts for oil exploration and production.
