The offshore drilling platform Berkut is one of the largest in the world. It is located 25 kilometers from Sakhalin Island on the shelf in the Sea of Okhotsk. This is a huge fully autonomous plant on giant reinforced concrete piles, which not only drills new wells, but also extracts several thousand tons of oil every day from a huge depth. The platform is able to withstand 18-meter waves, withstand temperatures down to -44 C° and the pressure of ice fields up to 2 meters thick. During the construction of the platform, for the first time in the world, a seismic protection system was used, which makes it possible to withstand an earthquake with a power of 9 points without loss of performance.

This video is fascinating. Thank you to all those involved in its production.
The size of this plant is huge ,I can’t get my head around it so big so mobile ..and it makes millions per day cheers 👍👍😃☘️
Love that one of the control room cameras was on the food canteen
FANTASTIC TECHNOLOGY ❤❤😮😮
200000 tons??? holy smokes!!
Absolutely amazing rig💯
the kitchen was fantastic :)
Very well narrated good job
I had worked the woked the offshore oilfields for yrs - for many it looks romantic looking at it from the out side - I assure you it is a very difficult way to live - those that have jobs on land never go through the stress we went through on less there in a war zone - Ive worked out there for decades then i went to work on land - i couldnt believe how easy life is working a regular job and comming home each night - Out there there are no holidays or weekends just work every day -
Unfortunately, not all land based work is that great though ?? Working in the Mining sector is pretty much the same as working on Oil Platforms. A few years after finishing my apprenticeship, I decided to get involved in Pipeline Welding. Usually this work is far away from anything that looks like a normal life. Back when restrictions weren't so tight. We worked 3 weeks straight 10 hour days. 1 week off when the company could have time to relocate the site, then back for another 3 weeks. Good $$$$$$ But, not much of a life ?? The ironic thing about this was a fair few of the guys working on this crew were Hopeless with money. Most of these guys who came back after the 1 week break didn't even have enough money to buy cigarettes ??? Running a tab at the canteen for cigarettes until payday. The story didn't end there. Same as life in Mining camps, depression was high on the list. Broken relationships and guys who took their own lives. But, no one ever mentioned anything. Like you mentioned. NO better working life than being able to come home at the end of the day 👍
@@weldmachineyou summed it up very well - I left a lot of details out - went to a boarding school as a kid so it was as if I had been groomed for it - After 20 + yrs i left that life because I received custody of my two sons and did not want to put them in a boarding school - so I raised my son's they came out well - I was a systems tech so I only came home a few days every several months - when I started in the early 70s it was very dangerous in a 4 yr period I had lived through 4 blow outs - The older guys were all WW2 veterans and took a lot of chances - my dad was a vet and thought nothing about me working out there - It's interesting my oldest son was in Afghanistan in the military and I thought nothing of it - After never sleeping in the same bed for a yr straight for 35 yrs - being on land all the time is really easy - I really like my second life that I have now lol -
The engineering alone on this thing is incredible
Nothing is incredible about it. The same technology has been in existence for the last 100 years! Move from here with your nonsensical excitement!
@@williamkunte5361 gfy
Incredibly interesting and informative!!
This is really interesting. Thanks so much, deeply appreciated!
what an amazing video, ty!
Exactly
This is incredible
Sleeping quarters?
This is so gnarly. I wish they'd offer tours!
Just take work there. Tours would be such a stupid thing, the price point alone would be astronomical. Just the course for being on a rig is about 2500$
Whoa, seriously? I'd love that. I've spent years working in remote sites. I think this would gnarly. What course is it? @@ghostoflazlo
I love this Job man
Realy I like this video so much
My job ❤❤❤❤
U wish show.proof
@@user-rt3hb5el1r thanks bro🤩
Lier😂
@@user-rt3hb5el1r why would he show off on something like this? Just silly..
There are many that love there work out on the water - I worked on rigs and platforms for yrs - it's all I know to this day - I was a systems tech for very few of us and I started up new platforms - My wife and kids knew when I left to do a start up I would be gone for 4 months or more - If your married and have close ties to family it's a very hard way to live - I went to a boarding school as a kid then at 18 went to work on offshore platforms - For me leaving home was the way life is - I'm retired now and love it very much also lol -
AWESOME DOC ...
Engineering at its very very best I wish I could have a tour
So interesting!
New sub here,thanks for sharing👏👏👏
it would have been professional of you to show what they used to tow the 168,000 ton concrete pieces....
Absolutely nuts
I like that work🙏 and i want this kind of work what is the full pocess sir
that is some crazy technology
I work this place 2 years
Thanks,
The heart would be the Generators. Without power nothing works.
It's the same as a modern home with out power it's not a home at all -
Thank you for showing us this. So here’s my question…. Where does the oil go to once they get it up into the rig? Are there ships that pull up to the oil rig & they pump the crude into them?
They said in the video that there is a pipe connection to the mainland
Very interesting.
Wow! So amazingly interesting. I wonder how often the fog closes in? Here on the California coast 30 years ago it was frequent every summer. Not so much now; climate change.
The climate changes with the sun cycle - you could start seeing heavy fog once again as we go into sun cycle 25 that's 2025 - For the next 30 yrs the seasons will become like they were before and after the yr 1800 -
If I worked on a rig ,,,I would like it to have 4 big legs ,not 1 big un 😮
How long it takes to build such infrastructure. My country found large deposits of oil and Gas both offshore and onshore. Soon we will be like GCC countries
My first job was on an oil rig I'm retired now and own 6!
Emergency shut down button never pressed and lifeboats never tested. Does anyone see a safety issue with any of this? Critical systems and processes are not tested ever.......... None of the critical equipment has been tested?
i worked a gas station. they gave me a button to press if any trouble happened...ie. robbery, explosion ect....went to another state at a monitoring station 24 hours a day.... I pushed it the first night after my training to see what happened and if it all worked.... I about got fired...my boss said everyone in the chain lost their shit! I told her i wanted to make sure if my life depended on this button that it worked....and she yelled at me for stressing the whole line of defense out....what i learned was that it worked, and that corporate didn't care 2 shits about my safety, just lip service and they wanted me to trust the system without a test or question....so i quit there soon after.....just bs people, only you can save yourself
My dream of working on One❤
Im about to apply
How deep is the ocean where this rig is located ?
They put a lot of faith in the BOP (14.0) if things go wrong but Blow out Preventers sometimes fail and I saw one being taken out of service in the north sea, we saw it had been installed upside down and unlikely ever to work !
Does each person have their own living quarters?
I'm guessing no except the boss. space is at a premium.
@@scotmandel6699 i was wondering that too....thought we would have a crew quarters tour....still a good tour!
This was harder thab building the Saturn V Rocket. Human greed for anything always breeds the best ingenuity. Once oil and gold are discovered in Mars, expect humans there.
Safety first!!
“Built on a gravity based structure” Sir I think all structures we build are… nvm..
Berkut looks absolutely massive like so massive but in Newfoundland Canada they recently built an oil rig that weighs 600000 tons called Hebron doesnt the size of an oil rig have to do with its weight seems a bit funny Hebron weighs 600000 tons
The weight often depends on were the platform will be set and what type of sub structure the platform sets on - That one sets on a Ridgid concrete sub structure so weight is not a problem - If a platform is set on a trestle or tension steel legs - there generally limited to how much weight the legs can handle- so there are weight limitations on those platforms - Most of the limitation on those platform are on how deep they can drill - 2 miles of pipe in the ground weighs a lot - when there drawing the pipe out the well at 40 lbs a foot that can be a lot of weight at the Derick - in many cases the Derick is in the center of the platform for weight distribution - Every thing is very heavy on the water - on land there limited by transportation weight - Out there 300 tons is nothing at all - If your looking at a deep water platform - the rig portion can have 8 EMD generators - those generators were on a locomotive at one time - We bought retired locomotives and striped the generators and traction motors and repurposed them for rig service - With tension plat forms weight is a constraint - so if a generator put out 2 megawatts on a locomotive - we normatly set them up so they could put out 6 megawatts for rig service - That is a weight/ power issue - the fuel is stored in the legs of the plat form that a diesel rig runs on - so fuel is not a weight issue - Once there recovering gas off the wells it's burned in combustion turbines - There very light but burn 4 times as much fuel as a diesel does for the same power -
Well that's interesting, so your saying that ones a ridgid concrete sub structure, I don't know how deep the ocean bed is below it but it sits on 4 extremely massive concrete legs does that have to do with it being a ridgid concrete sub structure.
@@owenmarsh7749there many factors involved - that structure is in ice water were there are ice burgs - so the structures has to be strong enough to stand up to ice burgs - I can't tell us how deep a fixed structure can be set concrete or steel - I knowing the gulf of Mexico there platforms set in a 1000 ft of water - The three major factors are hurricanes, Earthquakes and up in the north or south ice burgers - ice burgs are the worst -
After seeing all the technology/cost here you would think a gal of unleaded would be $40.00 gal.
Why wasn’t it built in North Korea? Ain’t they good friends?
I get your point now,😅.
On land in the Arctic I was a 950 loader operator that handled pipe, kept the mud room well stocked with their needs. As a spare working to fill the job I asked to go up on the drilling floor to see the process of pushing pipe on the rig that was drilling the longest directional well in history. About 1/2 of the triples 3 sections down the well kicked so hard it broke the kelly about 20 feet above our heads. Everyone but me knew what to do and where to go. Of course the mud continued to be pumped and literally filed every orifice of my body with mud and my clothes as well. That was the first one and only visit I ever made to a floor on a rig. THe work on the loader was good enough for the duration of my stay there in the middle of the Mackenzie river by Norman Wells NWT. Mud sure doesn't taste like mud eh, LOLOL.
Jake Thackary?
matter of fact ill pay the sewing class to sew curtains for my home fixer upper jobs
I want to work there.. what is the process for that?
Where they living?
I love it when people say humans were much more advanced in the past because they piled stones in relation to earthly or celestial patterns or cycles…..
Do you? 😐 How often does that happen to you?
Where is this located??
Off of the island of Sakhlin, on Russia's east coast. It was built by ExxonMobil, but Putin stole it and forced ExxonMobil to abandon all of its interests in Russia. They do not have the technical knowhow nor the spare parts needed to keep it going. It will crumble into the sea.
Russian Pacific Coast, north of Japan, in the sea of Okhotsk.
@@benardgakuya2422thank you!
Ocean Ranger off Newfoundland went down. RIP.
Who can up with the offshore oil rigging anyway??
It's better to have and not need than need it and not have it. Those orange boats things
It's not one of the biggest, it's the biggest one.
Naaaaaaaa!
Someone needs to teach my man to pronounce Okhotsk, lol.
Hello does anyone know what the song is at the end?

I wish I could be part of the working manpower of Offshores ..... looks exciting and new experience. Hope there is a job for Admin.....
When your looking at a video all is well - it's not the way it looks at all - the stress is incredible that those hand deal with - If a guy has worked out there for 10 yrs at least a 1000 had quit during his employment time - so he is only one in a 1000s that stayed there - Also in my case I was a systems tech so I only came home for a few days every 3 or 4 months - Not all the jobs are 14 days at work and 14 days off and at home - There is a saying the oilfields out there never sleep - those guys go through tons of anxiety they live in a war zone - . You can know a guy or gal on land that is real easy going - but as soon as they steps on a platform they totally changes and often become a miserable person to be around - I'm seasoned and went through 4 blow outs in the 70s - so I'm layed back most of the time - As soon as I step on a platform I'm not the same person as I am on land -
dont get it teisted though, these ladies still have some pull. matter of fact my grocery shopper can call and have that place shook down whenever she wants to
Quintillion and quintillion dollars business in the universe years2024
How does the oil get to the mainland?
kzhead.info/sun/Z65_aL1wapaFiX0/bejne.htmlsi=56Pr91BDgxTgsZBE&t=649 check this video
It’s too bad we have to have a oil rigs and OPEC Nikola Tesla off of the world, free energy, but sometimes the world is his own enemy
I've heard 12 year old's explain things better but watch a fn machine
Also not the biggest
Haha narration by a robot
Ah Russia the evil empire
Slava Russia!
Fake
I see you have never visited the inside of a semiconductor fab. There are some videos on them and the science in that blows this away by a long shot. While this is large the stuff they do is really crazy.
False dichotomy.
Pronounce your foreign words in English cause I have no idea what the names are of the rig or where it is
Russia is horrible in everway! Even their energy sector!
All this yet not one bit of footage of what the cabins look like inside and what about the emergency shoot or quick escape shoot and training, etc. All offshore rig employees have to pass the emergency drills if not, then you do not get a job on a offshore rigs full stop. The same with any ship or ocean going or even stationary platform in the ocean you have to pass the emergency drills and also even train people as well, for those men or women who live on the largest ocean platform known as shell prelude, which is around 600,000 tons and almost a 490 meters in length?⚓⚓👍👍✌✌🦘🦘👌👌
