Very good

What if the sea bottom is 2km deep ? Or a 20m-high-wave severe storm/hurricane occur ? Have you seen photos of capsized rigs ? The better solution is to make all the rig not uplifting, but SUBMERSING, 50 m deep.

These are shallow ocean rigs, so they would never work in water that was 2K deep. They might be able to jack up to clear a 20-meter wave, but they could also disconnect and float away during the storm.
