Offshore Oil Rig Equipment
An accommodation module is the eating and sleeping quarters
for employees; it also includes offices and a meeting
room. Each accommodation module contains a TSR or Temporary
Safe Refuge that are used in emergency situations.

Each oil rig may have a crane that is used to move materials
around the oil field. They are usually used to move heavy
items from the support vessels to the oil rig platform.
Derricks are used on an oil rig to drill the wells and can
be mounted on supporting skids.
The flame boom is on the side of an oil or gas rig and is
faced away from the platform. This is used to flare gas that
is used during bad conditions.
The drilling mud module is a place on the platform that is
used to mix chemicals, make clay and mix water. These mixes
are used to cool the drill bit by being pumped down the drill
pipe and works by washing away the cuttings of the drill.
A process module on an oil rig is an area of the platform
that keeps water and gas away from the oil. The water can
then be treated and then expelled safely into the sea.
To keep the crew and employers safe while working on an oil
rig a lifeboat system is in place. When released these will
drop down to the sea and can be taken to land or an alternate
safe place. There are usually more lifeboats available for
use than required by number of people on board the rig.
Oil rigs working in colder seas feature Ice wall teeth that
are used to reduce risk of passing icebergs to the rig. An
ice wall can be found below the platform and this helps reduce
the impact of iceberg hits and minimize shock over the entire
oil rig platform structure.
