It’s been more or less two hundred years ago since the first drilling, and since then, oceans have provided us tanks of fossil fuels, and it continues up until no one knows when. So, in this modern-day, let us look at, what are the types of mobile offshore production unit most MOPU oil and gas uses today.
Drilling Barges
Most MOPU offshore companies use drilling barges for shallow water because the drilling depth is approximately 150 metres beneath the sea level, also it can’t withstand strong wave, and only suitable for calm water conditions.
Jack-up Rigs
While this mobile offshore production unit has a different case because this has a self-elevating, which means it has several movable legs, capable of lowering and raising on the seafloor, but most MOPU offshore companies say the structure of jack-up rig is comparable with drilling barges.
Semi-Submersible Rigs
There a mobile offshore production unit designed for MOPU offshore drilling in ultra-deep waters, and during a MOPU oil and gas operation, it normally moored to the sea bed by anchors. Also, the platform of this mobile offshore production unit can contain heavy equipment, and machinery, and withstand in the treacherous waters.
Submersible Rigs
Aside from the designed for MOPU offshore drilling in ultra-deep, this mobile offshore production unit has pontoon-based, which means it has a ballistic position, anchors, and it can re-float above waters. Also, the MOPU holdings equipment this machinery is similar to drilling barges and jack-up rigs because of its MOPU oil and gas production is suitable under shallow water.
Drill Ships
Last, but not least, Drilling Ships is a mobile offshore production unit, and it has an advantage over the other MOPU holding equipment such as semi-submersible, because it has the ultra-deepwater capability, and it’s easy to navigate under the sea during a MOPU oil and gas operation. Also, it has a positioning system, and therefore it can drill well in MOPU oil and gas fields with no assistance.
These are just the types of mobile offshore production unit most MOPU oil and gas uses today, so if you want to more about how MOPU offshore, contact MOPU Holdings in Singapore as they are knowledgeable about MOPU oil and gas.
