Floating Deep Sea Oil Rig | Ultimate Tanker | Free Documentary

[@tolad1107]

This is a Floating Production Storage Offloading facility and not a drilling rig. This sails to locations where offshore wells have been drilled and the wells are connected to it so the oil can be pumped into it.

[@cwsmith7366]

This is exactly right. Furthermore, this ship was contracted to Pemex because several of the wells in this basin were extracting a very heavy almost tar oil, which was plugging the long pipelines leading to shore. This ship is actually a mixing refinery, drawing from several wells that produce oil of various viscosities, and mixing/refining them in order to produce a finished product that can essentially be used around the world.

[@digitaloctane7371]

Awesome bit of info thanks 🙂

[@robinj1052]

Exactly. It does not necessarily need to sail between locations, produced oil can also be shipped to shore using shuttle tankers. As far as the documentary is concerned, many FPSOs are upgraded old tankers. At USD 600 million, this is actually not that expensive. If you look at heavy lifting vessels (Pioneering Spirit of Allseas, or the Sleipnir of Heerema) or floating LNG plants (Shell's Prelude) you are not talking about millions, but about billions. These are, however, not converted vessels, but new builds.

[@markadog]

It's driving me crazy hearing "rig" over and over again. It isn't an oil rig, it's an FPSO.

[@robinj1052]

@Pawan kohad Nope, it is not a refinery. It is basically a floating buffer. It produces oil from the wells and stores it. The oil then is tranported to shore, either via a pipe connected to the FPSO or by using shuttle tankers. The oil is refined in shore facilities (refineries).

[@duckbizniz663]

An informative video on transforming an old oil shipping into a renewed oil processing ship. It is amazing what human beings can make. I am impressed by Keppel Shipyard and their ability to renovate an old oil tanker into a renovated mobile crude-oil processing plant. Needless to say Keppel Shipyard created many jobs for a lot of people from different parts of the world. This project required a lot of resources (money) to construct. It demonstrates the importance of petroleum in powering the global trading system. We need to develop new sources of energy. But it is clear that we are still highly dependent on petroleum. We must continue to develop new forms of energy, but we must continue to find new oil fields also. The so called renewable forms of energy cannot meet all of our current energy requirement.

[@samsngdevice5103]

Smart move. Turn the oil rig into a boat that can disconnect move out of the way and then return after the storm sounds very good.

"some can be used to tar new roads, or the sludge ends up in landfills after recycling to extract oil"

[@jonnda]

sote ful It’s all relative... At one point, the Canadian oil sands wouldn’t have been considered a viable and profitable source of oil. Then the technology and economic pressures changed, and now it is. Same thing with deep off shore oil drilling, and fracking. Most of the easier, cheaper oil, is not as plentiful as it once was (I think).

[@jonnda]

sote ful “depends on methods” See that’s what I mean. It used to be that some of the oil far off shore in the golf of Mexico (or insert other harsh location) wasn’t viable. Then new oil rig technology and methods were invented, and the economic pressure was there. This is in contrast to getting it out of a well in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Texas, which is a far simpler and cheaper well to make in comparison.
