Oil and gas production platforms are large structures used to extract oil and gas from beneath the surface of the ocean. They are typically built on top of a wellhead, which is a device used to control the flow of oil and gas from the reservoir below. The platform is designed to house the necessary equipment and personnel to safely and efficiently extract the oil and gas. This includes pumps, separators, storage tanks, and other equipment. The platform also provides a safe working environment for personnel, as well as a platform for the transportation of the oil and gas to shore.
