The platform is lowered, the racks are raised, the platform is transported.

Semi-submersible drilling platforms.

They are capable of drilling at a water thickness of 200 meters.

All underwater equipment requires monitoring.

Above the wellhead, the installation is held by anchors.

Being half submerged in water, it gets relative stability.

Guide ropes and underwater television help to connect the water separation column with the well at a depth of 200 meters.

All equipment for semi-submersible platforms was created by Uralmash.
