OBS

Dans le forage en mer, on utilise souvent une plate-forme à embase-poids qui comprend des réservoirs pour pomper le pétrole. Les réservoirs contiennent également une eau de ballast destinée à maintenir la plate-forme en équilibre, au fur et à mesure que le pétrole est pompé, l'eau est éjectée et remplacée par du pétrole.
