- Abstract
Offshore is a broad concept and therefore in this article offshore refers to drilling wells of oil and gas in the hydrocarbons deposits located deep from the seabed. Oil and gas is drilled wells with help of different offshore structures, for example rigs and vessels. Offshore drilling is a complex process where a borehole is drilled through the seabed. Of course, offshore refers to energy activity located at a distance from the shore. Oil and natural gas is located below the bedrock, which makes it difficult to extract them. A limited amount of inland oil has driven oil industry to the seas to find more oil deposits. There are high financial markets in the offshore industry and that is why much money is being invested in new offshore structures all around the world. Offshore structures are constructed for many different purposes worldwide. The structures are expensive to construct but there is an opportunity to have significant financial profit.
