How Offshore Oilrigs Work, Float, and Extract Oil
Offshore drilling is the process of extracting petroleum from reserves located beneath the Earth's oceans instead of reserves located on the mainland. Offshore oil rigs have developed greatly over the past years, and have become gigantic structures that house hundreds of people at a time.

This Is How Oil Rigs Are Built In The Middle Of Deep Ocean😨
Animation from @3DLivingStudio
Have you ever wondered how massive oil rigs are constructed in the middle of the deep ocean?
Well, The the ocean's depth is staggering, The deepest point ever recorded by humans is 6.8 miles. If you put Mount Everest upside down in the ocean, there would still be over a mile until you get to the bottom. So, how is it possible to build these megastructures in the midst of all this, where waves can be as tall as a 10-story building? Some people even jokingly say that they build the oil rigs first and then build the ocean around them.
You see, in shallow waters, fixed steel structures are installed in the ocean floor. But for the deeper waters, where fixed structures aren't practical, floating platforms are used, anchored securely to the ocean floor.

Searching For Life Deep Underground with Dr. Aaron Celestian
Nearly a mile underground in the Northeast part of England, there are crystals and life, so that’s where Dr. Aaron Celestian traveled.
Aaron went to the Boulby Mine, the deepest mine in all of the United Kingdom at approximately 1.4 km (0.9 miles) deep.
Aaron was part of a NASA Jet Propulsion Lab team to go deep underground in search of bacteria and determine if they are alive or dead.
If they are viable, then what is the mineral-microbe interaction?
What role do minerals have in life preservation?
Also, from where did these halobacteria come?
Were they part of the original salt rocks, did they come from somewhere else, did humans bring them from the surface?
So many questions that need answers; but they are all important because they will help with the search for life outside of E...

Offshore oil rigs, floating cities in the middle of the ocean, never sleeping cities towering above passing ships, working silently 24 hours non-stop for 7 days, carrying out their tasks far away from the nearest shore.
Billions of barrels of oil and gas are produced in these oil refineries and gas wells to meet the energy demands of the world's population.
The oil industry is the center of the world's economy, and even a slight change in crude oil prices can have a significant impact on all countries.
But have you ever wondered about the lifestyle and daily routine of the people who live and work on offshore oil rigs?
While you may have heard that life on these amazing floating platforms is fascinating, there are several things you might not know.
First of all, it's important to note that life on an oil rig is not luxurious. In fact, it's a place where people's lives are at stake every day they work.
Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, the truth is that life and work on offshore oil rigs are both extremely challenging and unsafe.

Nearly a mile underground in the Northeast part of England, there are crystals and life, so that’s where Dr. Aaron Celestian traveled.
Aaron went to the Boulby Mine, the deepest mine in all of the United Kingdom at approximately 1.4 km (0.9 miles) deep.
Aaron was part of a NASA Jet Propulsion Lab team to go deep underground in search of bacteria and determine if they are alive or dead.
If they are viable, then what is the mineral-microbe interaction?
What role do minerals have in life preservation?
Also, from where did these halobacteria come?
Were they part of the original salt rocks, did they come from somewhere else, did humans bring them from the surface?
So many questions that need answers; but they are all important because they will help with the search for life outside of Earth.
Aaron Celestian is Curator of Mineral Sciences at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, Affiliate Research Scientist at NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, and member of the Origins and Habitability Lab. He researches how minerals interact with their environments and with living things, and how those minerals can be used to solve problems like climate change, pollution, and disease.
