Abstract

Oil and gas plants can be classified into onshore plants and offshore plants, colloquially called oil and gas platforms or simply oil platforms. Oil rigs represent an enormous feat of engineering developed from over 150 years of industrial expertise. This paper shows the classification of oil and gas platforms according to their constructions and purposes and describes the types of oil platforms, their construction, advantages and disadvantages.

Keywords: oil and gas industry, offshore, fixed platforms, compliant tower, tension leg platforms, spar platforms
