- Learn how a massive oil platform is designed and built to last 40 years in the harsh elements of the Gulf of Mexico. This amazing structure took thousands of workers years to construct and stands at an impressive sixteen stories in height, truly making it a skyscraper in the sea.

It’s so American when they measure in football field and weight of air craft carrier
Yooooo 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@antr7493 except it's very imprecise and it costs nothing to use worldwide accepted measures
@@milena-hs5kq The idea of using real world objects to measure is to give a human reference to a massive object. People have a hard time imagining big numbers, but if you've been on a football field, you can imagine with two of those would look like pretty quick. Weight should only be measured in Toyota Corollas though, spaceships is not very standard

They may be doing better with the 'Appomattox' than with contending oil rigs, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still an inherently dirty and polluting industry.

@@fosterwhales1027 Working with Larry Kent Nick has really changed my life a lot, there was a time when I almost quit trading (investing in cryptocurrencies) due to several losses, but he gave me the opportunity to invest with him, I was able to recover everything. my losses and my profits are linked thanks to his experience and his strategies.
I did some research. Cryptocurrency is one of the best and fastest growing investments right now, is he accepting new students? I am interested, how can I contact him please?

Engineering is just amazing, proud to be an engineer and see what others engineers are doing around the world. Really inspiring
Yes you guys build some amazing marvels around the world. Smart people.
Yes darling, I love engineers.u guys are the smartest.ur intelligence gives me orgasms😌😝
Kinda weird seeing an engineer who can't spell "around" properly.
@@FennecDigitalArt Engrish is spelled wrong.
It’s blows my mind that we can do these things at this point in human evolution just remarkable
Ok well I thought oil rigs were attached to the sea floor. My mind is blown that they float
Fr i was thinking the same
They are attached by heavy duty chains from seabed.
Well they are sort of. The drill does go below seafloor.
Some are.
Petronius rig is. Basically 2000 feet of steel scaffolding and pylons. But ones like this that can be moved are more sustainable.
I did the fiber optic terminations while it was in Ingleside. Definitely an impressive rig.
It was huge, bigfoot had nothing on appo
@Neal Alack I was stationed right next door at Naval Station Ingleside from 1997-1999. I loved watching all the activity going on. I worked offshore for a short period of time in 2008-2009. I loved the time I worked out there.

An incredible feat of engineering and hard work.
How are the rare metals used for such batteries mined? Is it really that green to harvest these metals plus the refining process for said metals?
Shhhhh... 🤫 You're not supposed to talk about that. We're supposed to believe you just plug in the car and it magically works with no impact on the environment. 🤪🤑
The mining of the metals used in batteries are less green than the batteries themselves.
No its not lmao
Its an oil platform none of its green
This is the next oil platform my son helped get built and commissioned in the Gulf of Mexico, after it being built and commissioned, he is assigned from his office in New Orleans, La. he is also still the go to person for the day to day running and trouble shooting of any run plant issues that the operators in the control room on the oil platform. The current platforms that he is responsible for are the Horizon, The Appomattox and the last rig built the Lee (?) , that he helps any of those 3 rigs that they can't or having issues with certain control room problems. and he loves his job.
love how shell spends more on saying they’re green than being green
As a Shell stockholder, I like this.
I love oil 🥰
Lmao true
Pretty amazing structure.

Do you work with Shell?
So let me get this straight….”completely electric” …but electricity made with natural (frack-mined) gas? Im confused.
Where else do you think electricity comes from? Fairies?
They can't put windmills or solar panels in. Nuclear power plants wouldn't work either.
@@ILovePancakes24 Why would you place those in the ocean?
The idea here is that less smoke is directly emitted into the atmosphere. It plays as eco friendly but in reality its probably to avoid giving the workers lung problems by living near diesel generators for weeks.
this is amazing, the main narrative was to show the engineering world but also they found some interesting like bio life in deep sea. and also I just realized how small I am as a person after watching this, everybody in here has their role and their role is really big
Another step for mankind from Shell.
Wish I could work there... studying petroleum engineering... will fulfil my dream working offshore...

I can at the same time know this is propaganda and also find it fascinating - I think...

Imagen building an accual Oilrig-city on these platforms, basicily oilrig with city, where people live and work
00:17 SAMSUNG Branding 😂🔥🔥
This is insane
Is the byproduct of the energy-plant steam??? Hot water??? Water desalination??
Skyshark88 the platform uses jet engines fueled by fuel made on site from the crude oil. The jet engines turn turbines which make power, then the heat from the jets is captured and make steam which turns another turbine that also makes power. It’s amazing, and completely self sufficient!
Weird how most oil rigs are dying out and here comes Shell with a brand new one.
Dying out? Oil is more popular than ever.
@@ILovePancakes24 I was talking about Oil Rigs not the oil itself.
There might be only handful of oil rigs that have been made in the past 20 years.
The cost of maintaining it, transporting people to and forth every 2-3 weeks, transporting supplies for operating the rig and transporting the oil itself back to the shore is not that feasible compared to just drilling on the land.
All oil rigs eventually run dry. It's normal since they're extracting a finite resource. They're not designed to go on forever. Once it's no longer profitable, they move on and find fresh oil.
What an engineering Feat Wow
Wow just wow
The sheer amount of money being juggled through this whole thing is insane...
Gold job, amazing all process.
They "took a leaf out of the book of the electric car manufacturer Tesla" in order to be "low in terms of emission impact"...on an oil rig that's built to have a working life of 40 years. No irony there!
Lol that’s what I was thinking
If only they put this much energy into building solar panels.
wow, what an achievement.
Shell got best gas no cap 😂😂 my car be pulling with that V-Power Nitro 93
Amazing technology! It’s crazy how far we’ve come! Some people are anti-oil but still buy plastics and buy gasoline for many purposes.
Ita good to be anti oil. It just means to try to throw off gasoline and plastic usage
@@scpftestarchives8826 It will make sense when we actually have alternatives, right now there’s no other reasonable choices.
Oil is needed until innovation means it is no longer needed and that is just the way it is
