How To Demolish A 2,500-Ton Oil Rig

[@docoftheday]

The Lima Platform may be coming to the end of its lifespan, but it's clear that the legacy of these offshore oil rigs will live on. It's amazing to think about the impact that these structures have had on the world, and the incredible feats of engineering that make them possible.

[@Deathwing-kw5fs]

They're legacy will kill on, and keep killing after we're gone, as a matter of fact, we'll never know the extent of the damage we've done, but if anything manages to live on, they will.

I worked on a drilling rig for 6years,the deepest we drilled was 7500feet. I was a chain hand roughness, technical term operational engineer in se NEW MEXICO AROUND ROSWELL, ARTESIA, HOBBS, JAL. I HAD A SPINNING CHAIN BRAKE AND DANCE CROSS MY BODY. I THANK THE ONLY TRUE GOD THAT I'M STILL ALIVE TODAY. MY FEET GOT TOO COLD, NOW I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE TO MY LEFT ARCH FOOT TODAY. WHEN I THINK OF IT, I HAVE A MELTDOWN THAT COULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY. IT WAS A DEATH TRAP WOW😢

Amazing to watch however I've worked in the SNS for 20 years and none of the platforms are what you'd call giant. They're all small and easily lifted but most heavy lift barges. The platforms in the central north or northern North sea are giants in comparison. Take a look at the Troll platform for example. The challenge I think for SNS is the age of the platforms. Some dating from the late 1960's. No thought how they would remove them and many built piecemeal in situ. Compared to some Lima actually looked to be in pretty decent condition.

Me gustó muchísimo este video desde su comienzo hasta el final !. 👍 I love yuo UK 🇬🇧 . (Por lo inteligentes y educativos que ustedes son !.)

[@pattykitchens4042]

Thank you for sharing this video of how to move the platform

[@JHowlett1]

Never heard of Lima but for some reason I’m sad and happy to have learnt a bit about it ..😊💯

[@fidaranimation]

Great work

[@Sucksuphere]

Tough hombres !!!

Neither my father or uncle worked with the Northsea Tigers 🐅 🤔

[@DonLuc23]

What part did the annoying music play?

[@johnrevelation37]

I found the music to be enjoyable and enhanced the storytelling.

[@Kiyoone]

what? Building is always harder than tearing it down...

[@TheWizardGamez]

I love eastern Europeans "yes, that's what its made for"

[@user-gn1ic9ww8q]

so thats 900 plus usual rent per trailer address amonth

[@UriahGiles]

Your title is a misleading lie. Furthermore, you have just reposted a video that has already been uploaded by another channel. I don't know how the rights to media work on KZbin but I do know that there has been a huge spike in the number of pirated video being uploaded. I personally don't agree with this practice, especially because for one thing the quality is NEVER as good as the original. I hope KZbin does something to put a stop to this problem.

[@cementer7665]

I had a feeling that I had seen this before.

[@billynomates920]

i think they are over egging the pudding just a bit

[@user-gn1ic9ww8q]

theres no free rent whatsoever, no filming etc

[@Dinco422]

Genuine question... Why not use presurized water to cut things ? You have water there... You can cut diamonds with pressured water... so why not use it ??

[@Vatsyayana87]

Good question, i havent watched it yet but i assume you are talking about a hand held cutter and so id think thats where the weakness lays, the human. Ive never seen a human use a proper water cutter and i wonder if the thrust from those things are simply too much for us to use safely.

[@charleschristianson2730]

They did....

[@noahf5475]

Generally, fluids such as water and even air can have such immense torque due to the compression factor that they could easily break humans wrists. To create a handheld water cutting machine that would be able to both cut high rated steel like that, as well as have it be braced as to not harm the user, would be e very substantial feat on its own. At the moment, diamond cutters do the trick for what they need them to do, so they don’t change it. Hope that answers the question, despite me being a bit late to the party!

[@user-gn1ic9ww8q]

rent comes to me not the park mgr, its my estates not hers

[@Deathwing-kw5fs]

What are we replacing it with down there? Or have we left massive hollow chambers beneath the ocean that will send it sea down the drain?

[@CocoKickz94]

Usually whatever you pump out you put back in. For example it if I'm pumping a barrel and a half out that hole I need a barrel and a half of fluid going back in it to fill the void where the oil once was.

[@lhsiv]

Why all the over exaggerated music, just explain stuff to us like we are all adults. There are hundreds of KZbin documentary channels that prove that in this platform, we do not want history channel.

[@newone2931]

Cos that shit has brought destruction to the whole world.

[@jasonthompson4636]

What a odd criticism

[@CVGamingLab]

Why would you tell a channel how to make their own videos? You said there are hundreds of other channels... That gives you plenty of options. Please don't speak for everybody because that would include me.

[@lhsiv]

@@CVGamingLab glad they found their audience

[@hendyo_98]

Cause that’s how British documentaries are. Dramatic opening to set the scene for the rest of it. It’s fun and engaging

[@cementer7665]

Remember this FACT: If it weren't for AMERICAN innovation, technology, construction, along with the drilling, extraction, and production processes involved in offshore oil and gas, Great Britain would still be burning peat and coal to keep warm, and to boil its tea. It was also American workers who made the whole operation work, providing both the grunt labor, AND the supervision ONSHORE, as well as OFFSHORE to keep things going. I know, I worked out of both Great Yarmouth and Aberdeen from mid 1988 through mid 1992. The British have a bad habit of taking credit for things that were either invented by Americans, OR, if invented by the British, vastly improved upon by Americans.

[@xtr3m3fLx]

You also won every war you've been in singlehandedly. Utter twa...

[@Kirovets7011]

It's also a fact, that Americans are BRAGGING most of the time. I don't believe a darn thing that you're writing here.

Pretty damn crappy.

This is boreing.
