terms:platform
A platform is an immobile structure which provides a base for drilling and producing hydrocarbons in offshore areas. A fixed platform, which is made of steel or concrete, extends above the water surface and is supported by the sea bed by means of piling or spread footings. Other platforms are jack up platforms used in shallow waters and tension-leg platforms used in deep waters.
