Extracting oil and gas
We build large and resilient production platforms and use new technologies to reach as much oil and gas as possible
After we’ve established that there are large quantities of oil or gas (or both) at a drilling location, this site is known as a field. The next step is to plan and build a production facility, taking environmental, social and logistical factors into account.
Out at sea, we build oil or gas platforms which are strong and steady enough to cope with the amounts of oil and gas to be extracted, the depth of the water and the harshness of the climate or underwater environment.
Over the decades-long lifespan of most production facilities, chances are new technologies will help us reach deeper and deeper into reservoirs, helping us to extract more of the resources within it.
