From Wikipedia:You are an idiot. They don't refine oil on floating platforms. When did you become an "energy broker"?
From Wikipedia:
An oil platform, offshore platform, or offshore drilling rig is a large structure with facilities for well drilling to explore, extract, store, and process petroleum and natural gas that lies in rock formations beneath the seabed. .
I'm not the idiot you are claiming me to be... actually just the reverse is true.
No...it means refining.Processing means its piped to a GOSP not that it is refined on an offshore platform. You should have known that.
No...it means refining.
You haven't actually paid attention to anything yet.
I didn't go...was offered work on them and almost went with a buddy...but I decided to stay ashore instead.Have you ever set foot on an offshore drilling platform? They don't have refineries on offshore platforms.
Can you name a single company or location that refines oil on and offshore drilling platform?

And the gulf of Mexico is absolutely full of refinery rigs. That's where most of Americans oil and gasoline comes from. From there it is piped or shipped everywhere. Most of them are more than a couple miles offshore. It's a bumpy helicopter ride to get there and you are there for 12 weeks...lots of money but...meh...I have a life so I passed.

They are all called drilling or pumping rigs....but they still refine the oil.There are some 3000 shallow offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.. NOT refineries.
Shell has a huge new ship off Australia called the Prelude that is strictly fractional distillation.. Its NOT a drilling platform.
Difference Between Fractional Distillation and Cracking | Definition, Mechanism, Use
What is the difference between Fractional Distillation and Cracking? Fractional distillation separates components in crude oil; Cracking breaks down large..
They are all called drilling or pumping rigs....but they still refine the oil.
Some goes on for further refining...but the initial refining and cracking goes on offshore on the rigs.
The California spill... dunno what was going on there. I betcha someone was asleep on shift or wasn't on station paying attention...all kinds of alarm bells and buzzers have to go off for that kind of accident to happen. As an electrician it would have been one of those things I would have been responsible for keeping working.... usually it's just stupid stuff like heat trace or replacing cabling or connections in the worst places. There's a ton of sensors and flow meters and heating elements or cooling systems that need constant upkeep. ... because of all the refining they do on the platforms.
So.... everyone (except for you) for some reason works on the refineries on the rigs...that you claim don't exist...so what are they doing? Why are they getting paid?LOLOL. Pumping rigs? How primitive is that.
Nope.. They don't refine oil on drilling rigs.

Again....I have never even seen an old rocker pump except in the movies. Nobody in the oil business uses them unless they are really small potatoes.
Name some refineries on offshore drilling rigs.
Again....
Google is your friend.
You are the sole person I have ever met that doesn't know where the refineries are.You made the claim that there are refineries on drilling platforms.. Back it up.

I'm talking about the offshore refining on the oil rigs.You mean like Motiva or are you talking about refineries in Saudi Arabia?
I'm talking about the offshore refining on the oil rigs.
Why?Name the companies and the rigs.
