In the early stages of oil and gas exploitation, it is important to rapidly identify which production platform is likely to deliver its utmost value. This study first explores the key features and constraints of the most commonly used fixed and floating offshore platforms then proceed to discuss the current available production technology. Platform selections are based on several factors such as stability, water depth and environmental conditions. Drilling can be done from the platform or another mobile unit. As most new offshore operations turn to semi-submersible platform and drill rigs, it is perceived as the most promising platform by oil and gas industry.
Key words: Offshore structures, production platforms, semi-submersibles, , , ,
