The Offshore Oil And Gas Industry: Guide To Offshore Petroleum: What Is Life Like On An Offshore Oil Rig - Paperback

The world's oceans hold some of the most incredible reserves of oil and natural gas. Accessing these key resources takes innovation, ingenuity, and a dedication to safety. In 2019 alone, the United States produced an estimated 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. Not only is oil and natural gas used to power our cars and heat our homes, but it's also turned into countless products from clothes and sunglasses to smartphones and laptops to MRI machines and pacemakers.
This book is an informative and light-hearted view of the offshore oil and gas industry and the activities of a petroleum worker while searching for hydrocarbons beneath the planet's surface. This book aims to educate and inspire the younger generations - the future leaders of the industry, others who may be considering a career change into this area, or those who work or have worked in the industry to reminisce about their time here. This book answers questions about all aspects of offshore platform life as a result of questions from children, teenagers, and adults in volunteering groups and networking events, revealing aspects that formal petroleum companies do not easily disclose.
