Offshore units used by the petroleum industry to explore, develop, and produce oil and gas can be categorized as follows: 1. Fixed platforms, ... permanently attached to the ocean floor and ... not moveable. 2. Mobile platforms ... designed for mobility and intended to be at a given location a limited time period. The three general types of mobile platforms are: (a) the self-elevation units ; (b) the surface-type units (ship units and barge units) ; and (c) column-stabilized or semisubmersible units. 4, record 1, English, - offshore%20oil%2Ddrilling%20rig

The design of a jacket, i.e. a lifted, launched or self-floating jacket, is determined primarily by the offshore installation equipment available and the intended water depth. In general the preference is to lift the jacket in place. The size of such jackets has [been] increasing as offshore lifting capacity has grown. With modern lifting capacity now up to 14,000 tonnes, jackets approaching this order of magnitude are now candidates for lifting into position. 3, record 2, English, - off%2Dshore%20jacket
