A Look INSIDE an Amazing Six-storey $1 Billion Offshore Platform

The offshore drilling platform Berkut is one of the largest in the world. 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.

As a chief of operations of an offshore oil rig, I can tell that this is an amazing career that comes with a lot of sacrifices. Money is good, in my case, more than 1M per year, but im a full living oil rig worker, this means that theres no helicopter or ship that brings me back to my house every other week, I usually spend 6 months straight then 2 weeks off and I do another 6 months, no days off, no schedule, pure work.

@tikitavi7120 Facilities are ok, just the basics, I usually work anything between 85 to 95 hours a week, an average of 13 hours a day, no days off, the drilling it's kind of complicated to explain but here you go... The drillpipe is actually quite flexible. It’s actually rather difficult to drill a perfectly vertical well in most formations without taking a ridiculous amount of time. Once you get a slant well pointed in the correct direction with the proper BHA, bottom hole assembly and drilling parameters: weight on bit, flow rate rpm and more it may track that direction with little to no intervention Horizontal is not that difficult. It is hard on the drillpipe. In especially abrasive formations, it can drastically reduce the life of the drillpipe. For horizontal wells, as long as you have a vertical section above the horizontal section, the weight of the pipe in the vertical section pushes the pipe forward in the horizontal section
