Life On The World's BIGGEST Offshore Oil Rig Platform
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 เม.ย. 2022
- How does offshore oil production work? The offshore drilling platform Berkut is one of the largest in the world. It is located 25 kilometers from Sakhalin Island on the shelf in the Sea of Okhotsk. This is a huge fully autonomous plant on giant reinforced concrete piles, which not only drills new wells, but also extracts several thousand tons of oil every day from a huge depth. The platform is able to withstand 18-meter waves, withstand temperatures down to -44 C° and the pressure of ice fields up to 2 meters thick. During the construction of the platform, for the first time in the world, a seismic protection system was used, which makes it possible to withstand an earthquake with a power of 9 points without loss of performance.

I worked at Berkut from 2017 until 2022. It's a surreal feeling seeing your second home on this report.
Hello! Any tips for anyone who wants to work on any rigs?
That's so cool!!!
How can I enter to this company what their request
No one works there because it’s “fully autonomous”
IM INTERESTED , WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND . HOW DO I GET INTO THIS
I really wish more people could feel the level of awe at what we are capable of creating when we work together. The only word i can muster for this is just incredible. Humanity really is something else.
it's amazing! almost a reflection of ant's working together but in human form
I worked on berkut in South Korea when it was still in construction in the ship yard. We were responsible for installing the rubber seals around the liquid tanks and knuckle joints on the legs.
The thing is absolutley enormous! Isn't the human race amazing when it works together!
Sure is.
How often did you get robbed by pirates?
@@cyndiwyatt6751 Im guessing never.
@@cyndiwyatt6751 highly doubt that ever happened. Pirates running their crappy boats arent going to be able to get up on a rig like that from the water. Also they tend to target other ships, these people fly in. Also alot of people work on these oil rigs, im sure they have safety protocol for all kinds of situations.
I’m very impressed with the engineers that designed this rig. I often think to myself, how did they know to put those dials there or how did they know to (…). We humans are smarter than we give credit.
genuinely curious, does the rubber has a special layer on its inner layer to prevent the rubber from getting damaged or wrinkled or anything else due to any special circumstances? since rubber would likely got weathered in time so im curious how it developed for this certain function.
I will never get tired of watching these giant lego-set montages being assembled in pieces.
i was waiting for years and ages for someone to do a specific documentary video about berkut... and finally it happened. thank you very much
Glad you liked it!
Wow, started working on doubles drilling for gas in 1979 wells where 3 to 4 thousand foot deep in western pa, driller, Derick hand, chain hand, corner hand, four guys, no safety man, four or five days and you're moving to the next location. Very dangerous, no blowout prevention. So many near death accidents I can't believe I'm still here, glad those days are over. 😆🔥
old school.....respect Sir
Humans have really achieved some amazing feats, this is proof of unbelievable engineering and hard work
The SCALE of this place is incredible. And just to build it is phenomenal.
Wow, Engineering on a high level of excellence.
I loved the video a lot, got to know many new things about oil rigs and how they work. I love the complexity of the whole structure and how so many things are fitted and work in synchrony in a small area.
Oil rigs always amazed me, it's like a floating city
I worked on the EPC phase of this monster. Also spend 6 months at the shipyard in SK. A place I will never forget.
But the engineering of this structure is very impressive.
It amazes me to this day after working off shore myself and on land rigs. People have no idea all the safety measures put into place on these rigs. It almost always human error that leads to tragedy or pure negligence like in the case of the Deep Water Horzon and many others like that. It was definitely was one of the best jobs I have ever had.
I'm a machinist. I'd love a job on a rig. How do I go about doing so.
@@erikgrahn3363 assuming you’re in the US… Gulf of Mexico is experiencing a “tempered” boom of sorts. Whip up a resume and submit it to every entry level position that piques your interest. Lookup online how to get your TWIC card and be able to pass a drug screen at a moments notice, you’ll be scooped up in no time.
What does one get paid for doing this job? Just simply curiosity tbh
@@smokey213 Normally you have to have atleast a year on land rigs before you can ever apply but past experience can open a door for you depending on the field inwhich you are trying to get. When I was first hired I was making $32 US and hour, when I left I was on salary at that point and with out bonuses and such I was pulling in 156k a year. The more experience you can get in the field you wish or want to have the better. College, Field experience etc all plays a part in what you make and how far you can take it.
Can you please tell me how often the pirates have robbed any of these rigs?
Or if a rig Carrie’s 500 grand or more on board
Great video very fascinating and informative, This is the best video I’ve seen on off shore oil rigs.
More Episodes www.youtube.com/@monster-machines/videos
Very interesting subject and the short documentary had been done in an excellent fashion. Keep up the good work, I'll be here to watch
This is really cool. I know that this would be a tough job but I think that I would actually enjoy it.
What a impressive metal monster and very complex engineering design to control to keep this huge structure functioning…😮👌
I am fortunate to work for ENL Berkut platform one of the best offshore platform in the world ❤
That's badass. Stay safe.
These guys that work here GOT TO BE MAKING AT LEAST A HALF MILLION OR MORE A YEAR.
Nah more like $60,000 entry level to $600k
Great to see women being part of the rig workforce
Such an amazing documentary
Great documentary!
Oil isnt found in cavities/bubbles... its found in porous sandstones.
What do you think porous means
Amazing video, thanks for sharing!
This is Insanely Beautiful!
Sadness may be part of life but there is no need to let it dominate your entire life.
I spent a lot time on this one, starting up the water maker, (Reverse Osmosis System), it was an enjoyable place to work.
What a great engineering 😮 amazing
What a pity we didn’t see the living accommodation, I wouldn’t mind a couple of weeks holiday on that Oil Platform.
No holiday offshore 😊
I expect they're much like military barracks. Because you only use it to sleep I imagine quarters for 8-12 persons each.
@@AudieHolland no, they are much better, they are only for two persons and have a TV
Was hoping to see the personal accommodations. Kinda surprised ya didn't include that.
This video is Russian Propaganda living is probably miserable on board. Don't believe me go back and rewatch. Its oddly self mastrabatory...
not much to see, single beds, either 1 or 2 person rooms (older platforms have more people per room) with a bathroom/shower shared by adjoining room (again exceptions for older rigs). Generally like a cheap-ish hotel, but clean and tidy, with free food, wifi, laundry, etc. 2 person rooms usually have one person working, another sleeping, so you get the room to yourself at the end of your shift. You're not there forever, as everyone works on a rotation of some sort, say, 4 weeks on, 4 off, or, as in Norway, 2 weeks on, 4 weeks off...
Amazing!
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵
I'd love to see a place like that with my own eyes.
Nice rig from Gambia 🇬🇲
Wow, what's the PSI on that concrete?
Watching this video from islands of Malta very very beautiful
I don't know the video camera, but it gives great dynamics
BERKUT is not the biggest oil platform: the largest is Hibernia, off the coast of Newfoundland. My grandfather helped build the GBS for it!
Ok.......and then
Great video thanx 🇬🇧👍
Glad you enjoyed it
This is insane! Wow!
Well made video
Very impressive!
1 major issue with this video if what you stated is accurate, the ESD should be actually tested at set intervals. I worked on various offshore platforms throughout the Gulf of Mexico for a major oil company…. These test are a requirement set by the governing body MMS (Minerals Management Service) and all required testing has to be documented and signed off. You’d be amazed at the number of safety devices that are “supposed to work” actually fail to work for numerous reasons…. That’s why actual periodic function testing of all safety devices “MUST” be carried out according to their set requirements.
Brilliant
I would love to seea new update vedio of the marsB,in GOM, and if thetes a spt field project to cap off the 14,000 oil wells out there and if the project has been approved yet.
the song at the end slaps ngl
Excellent video. Greetings from Serbia.
Thank you!
I can't believe this is the eighth time I'm smashing open my piggy bank on the same day!
How deep or should i say shallow is the sea ? Also at 210000 metric tons this has to be one of the heaviest man made objects out on the seas.
This is sinply mind bendingly incredible. Humans can do anazing things. This is science fiction thats true today.
Hello, such a question what professions will be in demand in the oil and gas industry today and in the future? 1) Development and operation of oil and gas fields? 2) Operation and maintenance of facilities for transportation and storage of oil gas and refined products? I want to enroll to study and need advice on who is better.
applying to a technical school or knowing somebody
@@fearscanty4894 l don't have any connections, only a technical education, l don't know what the chances of a foreigner's employment will be after graduation
@@user-eh2nu5qt5d if you are going to a technical school your professors should have experience in the field, but a technical degree is worth gold nowadays you can get hired pretty quick. down here in houston im doing a 9 month program for industrial maintenance and im expected to start working the week after i graduate
@@fearscanty4894 congratulations, it's great to work in such a company, gain experience and grow up the career ladder !!! I am still finishing my secondary technical education and i want to enroll in higher education in absentia to study and work , but I have not yet decided on a profession, there is still time to think, now I work as a pipeline installer

If all the inventions of the mankind are brought into a square mile of area - well said.😀
I always thought building in water is a difficult task
I'm also waiting that this kind of construction will have in the Philippines..by its own operation
on the berkut platform for camera all crew with new cloth and gloves !
My intrusive thoughts would make it impossible to NOT press the emergency shutdown button 😢😂
Amazing, really nothing else to say
Hi Sir may I ask, if the people working there , they can video call to they family? Please answer , thanks 🙏🏻
Yes, we have enough bandwidth for FaceTime 👍
You still need a roughneck to point a HP Hose.
I believe in one thing only, the power of human will.
does anyone know the source video of this?
This whole video has nothing to do with "life on the biggest oil rig platform"
How do they attach it to the seabed?
4.04 - 4.27
@@thestu7066 I can not understand what the numbers mean. It does not matter any more to me now.
They are timestamps for the video, might be useful in the future to know
@@micshaz that show how it attached to the seabed? They show that?
Judged perfectly environmentally friendly 😂
ما شاء الله ما شاء الله
إحنا بنصدر السماف لسبع قارات تعطونا غاز نصنع امونيا ويوريا ونعطيكم سماف ؟!
لأنا شاكين أن الغاز اللي عندنا ما ينفع للامونيا واليوريا.
ذكرتني كنت ناسي طلع بنقدر نطلع الأمونيا واليوريا من الفوسفات خلص بدناش منكم غاز تخيلوا ناس غيرنا مطورين عن خنازير وبيعوهم
I live in northeast Texas can anyone tell me how I can get in the offshore oil field where can I apply how those it work
So they fill the areas where oil was extracted with the waste.
6:02 the Abandon Platform button 😳
"A fat pigeon" 🤣
Deepwater Horizon had a "preventer" of blind sheer rams as well.... it did not work.
Excellent point! It was partially broken and the operators and the company knew that. They just continued until they got too careless and history tells us the rest of that story.
@@FiveBlackFootedFerretsthe USCB channel has an amazing animated play by play of the Deepwater Horizon event if you're into that kind of thing, I can't recommend it enough!
This is my idea of hell and my biggest fear
Intresting
This is fucking, amazing.
I'm planning on closing all oil rigs you got your own ways selling your oil
What’s the best way to land a job offshore with no rig experience? but on the other hand has enormous experience as a seafarer.
Search for the jobs and apply. You may not get the job the first few tries but you might with persistence. My first job working offshore was at the age of 18 in the Gulf of Mexico back in 2006ish.
As a seafarer you may have a better chance joining an FPSO. They have marine crews.
The music in the way you pronounce some of the words had me convinced to this was gonna be an Arabian Sea for a minute
What company runs this rig?
It was Parker Drilling but now it would be a Russian company
I would like a job here.
Huh.. I used to work there, what a hard job
tell us more
Who else was just itching to push that red button? 😂
"..their Deposits (fossil fuel) are quickly DEPLETING," IDK if anybody caught that.
I was sure that petroleum is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are hydrogen and carbon fused together through heat and pressure, which comes ready-made by earth for us to extract and use.
We then split these hydrocarbons for energy upon combustion: hydrogen and carbon are both released as fuel for plants to grow and thrive. Pants absorb this back into the earth and the cycle repeats itself.
On this basis, petrolium is the greenest, most abundant renewable liquid on earth after water, and it will almost certainly never run out.
The lies everyone has been fed about oil, gas, coal etc have been used for centuries by very small, albeit powerful, groups of people who have huge stakes in maintaining a monopoly on that power and control over governments and people.
Pricing a barrel of oil is like putting a price on a barrel of water - it's impossible because it is superabudant. Create the perception of scarcity, however, and you can charge people whatever you want.
If you can do that, you can yeild huge influence in shaping the way the world is run and governed by inculcating certain political ideologies.
Such belief systems often bear no relation to actual fact or objective reality. In fact, it is the rule rather than exception that if you take a government policy or so-called "scientific fact" and flip it 180°, you will reach the truth of the matter.
British philosopher, Bertrand Russell, went to some length in explaining how mass psychology (i.e. brainwashing) would be "the most important tool politically in the 21st century" in his book The Impact of Science on Society.
1 in 4000 basically
Gotta send this to the stop oil mfs
What jobs, careerfield, education, will get you a chance to work in an Oil Rig?
Do they just stay in one spot in the ocean or do they float or what
stay
I wonder where they keep oil and gas they pumped before collected
In the sand stone or under the sand stone.
I onshore chemist..Ongc india
The things humans do. Can you imagine if some duckbilled platterpusses started dragging some massive structure out into the middle of the ocean?
I wonder how the sanctions are affecting this well
That’s a long time for the wife to be home alone
That’s bc she’s not.
Canada has a resources of over 170 billion oil barrel in the oil sands.
There are offshore cranes like Heerema Thialf or Sleipnir which can lift way higher loads than 7000 t by the way.
Damn
Do the companies that have these oil rigs contract jobs out to private companies?
Per each squre centimeter the most expensive structure sitting on our planet hands down!.
But we all know who owns this huge cash cow 😊
who?
Anybody else noticed how much touchy touchy this guys is?... DO NOT touch or rest your hands or body on equipment please.
Mislteading title. This shows how the platform works, not life living there.
