OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS 
Its refers to industrial activities in open sea, starting from the 
search (exploration) of oil & gas to production (exploration) 
transportation them to the shore. 
Its require continued development of new technologies in 
order to produce oil in regions, which are inaccessible to 
exploit with the existing technologies. 
With the depletion of oil in onshore and offshore shallow 
water reserves, the exploration & production of oil in deep 
water has become a challenge to the offshore industry. 
Offshore exploration & production of minerals is advancing 
into deeper waters at a fast pace. 
In order to meet the need for offshore exploration & production of 
oil/gas, a new generation of bottom supported and floating 
structures is being developed.

1. SEISMIC SURVEY VESSEL 
PURPOSE 
• To produce detailed 
information for oil 
companies as a basis 
for actual production 
drilling 
The information is 
the result of the 
evaluated reflected 
sound waves in the 
sea floor 
Sound waves are inititiated by the vessel 
by means of air gun, the reflection are 
collected by a number of detector within 
long cables (streamers) towed by the 
vessel

2. DRILLING RIG / JACK-UP
JACK-UP 
Jack-ups rigs : 
self-elevating drilling platforms 
equipped with legs that are 
lowered to the ocean floor until 
a foundation is established to 
support the drilling platform. 
Used for drilling in water 
depths from20 feet to 350 feet. 
Currently have 13 jack-up 
drilling rigs
Jack-up Semisubmersible 
Drilling ship
3. DRILLING SHIP
DRILLSHIP 
Typically self-propelled, positioned over a drill site 
through the use of either an anchoring system or a 
dynamic-positioning system similar to those used on 
certain semisubmersible rigs. 
Capable of working in water depths as deep as 
12,000 feet
DRILLING PROCESS
4. SEMI SUBMERSIBLE DRILLING UNIT
4. SEMISUBMERSIBLE 
Semisubmersible operate in a “semi-submerged” 
position, 
• remaining afloat, 
• off bottom, 
• typically anchored in position and 
• remain stable for drilling in the semi-submerged 
floating position 
High-specification semisubmersibles are generally 
capable of working in water depths of 4,000 feet or 
greater or in harsh environments 
Intermediate semisubmersibles generally work in 
maximum water depths up to 4,000 feet 
Currently have 32 semisubmersibles

5. FLOATING PRODUCTION STORAGE 
AND OFFLOADING VESSEL 
Kikeh 
Source: PraGlobal 
•Typically deployed to produce 
hydrocarbons from subsea wells using 
process plants to boost and filter 
received fluids 
•Cargo tanks onboard are used for 
storage of product 
•Product exported by shuttle tankers to 
shore 
•Vast majority are vessel based (oil 
tankers) conversions, though new 
builds and non-tanker based designs 
are also used
6. OFFLOADING VESSEL 
A Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel is a 
type of floating tank system used by the 
offshore oil and gas industry and designed to take all of 
the oil or gas produced from nearby platforms or 
templates, process it, and store it until the oil or gas can 
be offloaded onto a tanker or transported through 
a pipeline.
7. SHUTTLE TANKER 
• A shuttle tanker is a specialized 
ship designed to transport oil from 
offshore oil fields to onshore 
refineries. 
• Shuttle tankers are often used as 
an alternative to pipelines in harsh 
climates, remote locations or 
deepwater. 
• The offshore loading system transfers oil from a FPSO. 
• The loading system is on the bow of the ship, which allows the shuttle 
tanker to load safely from various platforms, regardless of weather 
conditions. 
• The offshore connects to the loading system on the shuttle tanker. 
• The type of export system onboard varies based on safety, weather 
conditions, water depth, seabed conditions and cost.
8. SUPPLY VESSEL
9. NAVY VESSEL 
• The Navy deploys two classes of submarines: 
1. attack submarines (SSNs) and 
2. ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). 
• The mission of nuclear attack submarines (SSNs) is to locate 
and destroy enemy ships and submarines 
• Fleet ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) deliver ballistic 
missile attacks against assigned targets from either a 
submerged or surfaced condition. 
• The term most commonly refers to a large, crewed, autonomous 
vessel.
SUBMARINE
DESTROYER 
• (DDs) and guided-missiles 
destroyers 
• (DDGs) are 
multipurpose ships that 
are useful in almost any 
kind of naval operation. 
• They are fast ships with 
a variety of armaments, 
but little or no armor. 
• For protection, they 
depend on their speed 
and mobility.
FRIGATE 
• The classification “frigate” designates ships 
used for open-ocean escort and patrol. 
• Frigates resemble destroyers in appearance, 
but they are slower, have only a single screw, 
and carry less armament.
