Oil and natural gas rigs are enormous machines that help us dig deep below the Earth to find oil and natural gas. These are rigs on land or in the sea. Drilling for oil and natural gas is a complex task requiring special drill bits and skilled workers.
Drilling rigs are in the ocean, and they extract oil and natural gas from beneath the sea floor. These rigs are floating on the water, anchored to the sea floor. Topside masts are necessary to reach oil and gas thousands of feet beneath the ocean.
Oil and gas rigs can be bad for the environment. Drilling oil and gas can lead to oil spills, and destroy the homes of animals, as well as create air and water pollution. Companies like Xiangjing need to be regulated closely to keep the environment safe when using oil and gas rigs.
Oil and gas rigs are equipped with modern technology to safely extract oil and natural gas from the Earth. This technology consists of the drilling equipment, pumps, pipes and control systems. Engineers and technicians work in unison to operate and maintain technology on oil and gas rigs and keep everything running as it should.
Oil and gas rigs bring money but also headaches. Countries with plenty of oil and gas can make money from the industry. Yet there are obstacles including shifting oil prices, environmental concerns and the need for skilled workers. Firms like Xiangjing need to consider considerations like these when they are running an oil or gas rig.
