    This video could make you seasick...Huge waves crash against a swaying oil rig, as a severe storm which swept across parts of Scotland hits the North Sea. The footage of the Borgholm Dolphin installation was captured at the weekend by James Eaton, an offshore worker on the nearby Lomond Platform, around 145 miles east of Aberdeen.

      Not all of them, of course. Building a fixed platform is economically feasible up even 520 meters. Semi-submersible platforms, however, can be moved from one place to an other because of their floating design. These rigs can drill in waters up to 3000 meters deep.

      @Gamefeedvids 9 ปีที่แล้ว +132

      Drilling rigs tend to be semi subs (floating) or jack up, where as fixed platforms tend to be production, but there are many other options from drill ships to FPSOs etc :)
      The one in this IS NOT an oilrig as the title says but a flotel, a floating hotel, used for large jobs where the accommodation is not big enough for the work force. The walk way over is the black structure top left at the top of the red tower. They 'stand off' when the weather is bad, otherwise the walk way would be snapped to bits.
      Here is one from the Safe Caledonia standing off a fixed platform, the Dunbar, East of Shetlands. It is similar to what you are viewing here but in reverse :)

      +5hanes Nor me! ...assumed they were solid structures. There was a serious storn in the North Sea about 1987 or 8, and oil rigs were breaing loose from their moorings, so I suppose that was one which floated?. My brother and dad had to cross the North Sea to buy a jeep that night from Holland..I was worried, but the ship still sailed.

    It appears to be an accomodation vessel (Flotel) for Oil Rig workers and is normally hooked up to a Drilling Platform which is sunk into the sea bed. In rough weather it will lift its bridge and endeavour to stay on the lee side of the Platform - and return when things cool down.

    Its "NOT" an oil rig its a Flotel that accommodates the men working on Oil or gas platforms that are being sited, refurbished or just carrying out general upgrades required on the Oil or Gas Platforms which have limited accommodation and cant cater for the number of men required so these Flotel's tie up alongside the rig and the additional men sleep & eat on these and get to the rigs (platforms) by use of the movable bridge seen on the top left hand side of this Flotel.

    Its the Borgholm Dolphin.It's a flotel. It's got about six anchors which it can use to pull itself away from the oil rig it's connected to with it's bridge.
    because the North Sea was so rough.I was on it years ago over Christmas. At one point the waves were crashing up through the large open space between the accommodation block and the helipad the .
    It wasn't to bad in bad weather, you just had to get used to rolling from one side to the other or head to toe in your bed at night.
