Le principe même [des plateformes autoélévatrices] limite leurs performances: les plus récentes, dont les piles dépassent les 100 mètres peuvent forer par 90 mètres d'eau. Au-delà de cette profondeur, on utilise des engins de forage flottants, navires ou plateformes semi-submersibles.  1, record 1, French, - engin%20de%20forage%20flottant
