The offshore drilling platform Berkut is one of the largest in the world. 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.

  • As a chief of operations of an offshore oil rig, I can tell that this is an amazing career that comes with a lot of sacrifices. Money is good, in my case, more than 1M per year, but im a full living oil rig worker, this means that theres no helicopter or ship that brings me back to my house every other week, I usually spend 6 months straight then 2 weeks off and I do another 6 months, no days off, no schedule, pure work.

    • @tikitavi7120 Facilities are ok, just the basics, I usually work anything between 85 to 95 hours a week, an average of 13 hours a day, no days off, the drilling it's kind of complicated to explain but here you go... The drillpipe is actually quite flexible. It’s actually rather difficult to drill a perfectly vertical well in most formations without taking a ridiculous amount of time. Once you get a slant well pointed in the correct direction with the proper BHA, bottom hole assembly and drilling parameters: weight on bit, flow rate rpm and more it may track that direction with little to no intervention Horizontal is not that difficult. It is hard on the drillpipe. In especially abrasive formations, it can drastically reduce the life of the drillpipe. For horizontal wells, as long as you have a vertical section above the horizontal section, the weight of the pipe in the vertical section pushes the pipe forward in the horizontal section

EOG Pelican in Trinidad had one operable shower for all the hands, and it was filthy. I worked on BP Horn Mountain in the GOM when the weather was in the 30's, and there was no hot water to shower. That's the kind of conditions you can expect to run into. The food is usually awful contrary to what some may say. That said, some like offshore work because they often work a two week on/two week off schedule. It's not worth it to me.

  • Off shore work is tough and challenging but the rewards more than make up for it. If you are a young person running with the wrong crowd then this type of work will be perfect to get you away from that crowd before permanent damage is done. once you have a permanent conviction on your record you will likely be excluded from this type of work as well as even many types of regular work..

    • ​@@Cosmicmonkeyman This was made in Russia and Korea. Don't know don't care if Korean or Russian unions were used, do know that US unions were not used thus the price and timelines are not egregiously inflated. There is a reason that we went from the ship building capital of the world to less than 1% of ship building and almost all of that is due to government requirements to buy domestic for certain things not because it's in the least bit competitive. Unions with mob connections and other connections to the Decorate parties are corrupt as fug and destroy domestic production.

    • @@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh It was built almost entirely by Daewoo and engineered/operated by Exxon, which makes sense because it would never be completed if the Russians had to build it. They mostly just put up money. If you think US unions are bad (and they are. I don't disagree), try doing business in Russia. It's like the mob runs the place. Also, the project did cost over $10 billion. Not sure why the video says only $1 billion.

  • It’s pretty amazing what a team of humans can do, to build such a structure in the middle of the ocean. Post apocalypse this will make a cool place to live, fish, probably will turn into a marine park. Would grow a vertical garden on it, vertical greenhouses, all powered by wind, wave, solar energy perhaps. All the oil will be gone by then and with the cessation of the amped up petro-energy phase of human civilization and all of this compounded by global warming, desertification and deforestation, the denuding of the environment all over the planet, including the oceans there will be strife. The platform with probably not be eco-hippy camp because the violent sea pirates, which is too bad because they would totally dig the vertical garden aspect, Islamists, cargo-cultists, et al will have taken over by force. It will be a Poseidon cult perhaps because never has there been a time on earth, the past few thousand years at least, has there not been far fetched & absurd religions coming along to screw things up for everyone. I would like to dive in the underwater marine park and photograph the mermaids that hang out down there worshipping the feet of the under-lord, Poseidon the biggest fish in the universe. Oh Poseidon, ocean lord, bringer of fish cakes and crab, thanks for all the fish, you are so big and so grand and the seat of all creativity and watery bliss, all hail Poseidon, etc etc. We’ll have to put it into scripture and weave some tall tales around it so that the peeps go for it, put a bit of death denial and sexual repression/guilt tripping in there and they will lap it up.
