Drill Production for Offshore Oil Rigs
When a new oil field is being examined before it is to go on steam, engineers and geophysicists gather information on the value and size of the oil field. If the oil field is up to standards then drilling can begin. This starts with drilling the production wells horizontally.

Traditionally wells were drilled vertically. However these
days due to greater efficiencies in extraction methods, wells
are drilled horizontally in order to access more of the hydrocarbons
that are stored within the well. If the well does not produce
the required hydrocarbons a new well is then drilled and the
other is left deserted. If the well is proven to be valuable
then the extracting process can begin and new jobs are created
to begin work.
Obtaining oil from the sea is far more expensive than land
due to the cost and setup of oil rig platforms that are set
on stands and stand on the waterbed. For very deep oil fields
a floating oil rig platform is used. These are held in place
with long chains and these fields are capable of drilling
10,000 feet down using this method.
