Life INSIDE The World's BIGGEST Offshore Oil Rig

The offshore drilling platform Berkut is one of the largest in the world. It is located 25 kilometers from Sakhalin Island on the shelf in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. This is a huge fully autonomous plant on giant reinforced concrete piles, which not only drills new wells, but also extracts several thousand tons of oil every day from a huge depth. The platform is able to withstand 18-meter waves, withstand temperatures down to -44 C° and the pressure of ice fields up to 2 meters thick. During the construction of the platform, for the first time in the world, a seismic protection system was used, which makes it possible to withstand an earthquake with a power of 9 points without loss of performance.

The engineering alone on this thing is incredible

I had worked the woked the offshore oilfields for yrs - for many it looks romantic looking at it from the out side -
I assure you it is a very difficult way to live - those that have jobs on land never go through the stress we went through on less there in a war zone -
Ive worked out there for decades then i went to work on land - i couldnt believe how easy life is working a regular job and comming home each night -
Out there there are no holidays or weekends just work every day -

The size of this plant is huge, I can’t get my head around it so big so mobile ..and it makes millions per day cheers 👍👍😃☘️

Love that one of the control room cameras was on the food canteen

I wonder how much Uber Eats charges for a delivery there ?

Seriously, you guys have my respect. This looks like very hard life. Epic...

This video is fascinating. Thank you to all those involved in its production.

[tundrawomansays]

This is really interesting. Thanks so much, deeply appreciated!

[francisconikotian]

they should put a little glass lid over that button

I found this fascinating having no prior knowledge about oil rigs or anything about this industry. I'm a female who can put oil in my car and pump my own gas but that's about it. I do wish we could have seen the living quarters, otherwise this video quality is excellent. Thank you for posting this.

Incredibly interesting and informative!!

It’s amazing what man can create/ build.

This looks like you stole a video in another language and translated it to english and then overdubbed it.

Amazing how much money spent to drill for oil to burn for steam to make power yet we sit on top of molten lava with endless heat for steam turbines

The heart would be the Generators. Without power nothing works.

Emergency shut down button never pressed and lifeboats never tested. Does anyone see a safety issue with any of this? Critical systems and processes are not tested
None of the critical equipment has been tested?

*_It's bigger and more modern than I thought_*

Truly amazing looking at all the different pieces of machinery/equipment & parts involved.
Everything was designed on paper, built and assembled. FANTASTIC ingenuity. Yes, by man, not aliens, Georgio from Ancient Aliens blah, blah

This helped me a lot in my research of Deepwater Horizon
