Floating Deep Sea Oil Rig | Ultimate Tanker | Free Documentary

Floating Deep Sea Oil Rig. The World is running out of oil. But new Megastructures could unlock the planet’s last reserves. The PIONEER - a floating oil rig. She’s designed to reach deep sea oil in waters too treacherous for traditional rigs. She’s built to survive savage storms and engineered to escape devastating waves. She’ll go deeper than ever before, to tap oil wells over two and half kilometers beneath the sea. But the PIONEER is much more than a state-of-the-art floating super rig. She’s the ultimate recycling project, built from an ageing tanker,at a price tag of 600 million dollars. If the PIONEER’s makeover succeeds, it could unlock perhaps a billion barrels of oil. If it fails, it could be catastrophic.

Still hard to believe the amount of planfication, protocols and engineering it take to finish such ambitious project.

[@redemption8980]

I was fortunate to work on this thing sometime back in 2014-15 in a dry dock in Athens, Greece it had come back from Senegal coastline where it had been stationed for 1year. It was to undergo some major overhaul before leaving for Cyprus.

[@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).

[@rodanzig]

I was on a ship back in the 80's that occasionally moored astern of one of these in the Santa Barbara Channel . One time wild fires were burning through Santa Barbara , it was weird we would watch the fires on the TV news and step out on deck and see them for real .

[@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.

[@jhalkoski]

"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.

The rigs that got destroyed in Katrina, there was nothing short of moving them that could have stopped that… and they didn’t have time, this ship I don’t think could have drove away during Katrina, I don’t think much could have weathered those waves… I remember buoys that are anchored with giant chains, ripped off and tossed up on the barrier island during tropical storms, and the Mississippi gulf coast(not New Orleans) took the most damage, literally moved entire casinos hundreds of yards away and put 30+ feet of water on the coast, those waves probably were easily in the 40-50+ feet range offshore
